Time slippage definition
Time slippage. Proper project management methods, as used in the production industry will keep this on track (all WPs and milestones) Editorial and technical aspects of the projects fail to complement each other Production of good specifications to be jointly completed by editorial and technical teams with storyboarding and sketching techniques used to ensure we are all building the same thing (all WPs and milestones affected, especially WP5) Failure to evaluate the state-of-the-art hardware 3-5 years from now In order to ensure wide usage by standard PCs, very careful estimations will be made while basing the project on equipment to be standard in the near future (WP1,2,3,4,5; exploitation results will be affected by too ambitious hardware requirements) Indicators related main risks: - Inability to get appropriate children participants (low risk - as the clinical experts have lots of experience with such and are familiar with all limitations and rules) - Inability to get good enough engagement level (low risk - as Compedia has lots of experience in gaming is very experienced in creating engaging award winning content for children with ASC). - Inability to get ethical approvals on time (low risk - due to experienced clinical members and due to early implication. Also note that actual experiments will not start before month 6 of the project) - Inability to get statistically significant improvement in users socio-emotional skills by using the system (medium risk – we will minimize it by spiral planning and detailed specifications based on partners' high experience) - Inability to get parents participation and engagement (low risk. Parents are looking for solutions to improve their child situation). - Inability to get NGOs and user groups to support and get involved the project (low risk due to the need for such system and the consortium partners' reputation) - Inability to get therapists support - as they might see it as a treat (medium risk - will strive to minimize by suggesting it as a complementing tool with specific therapists area in which they can share and feedback. In addition specific "therapist mode" will be added to enable the therapist to chose and define the child's activity - this keep control with therapist (might be that a personal lesson array will be entered by therapist). - Inability to get government participation and support (medium risk - governments have many constraints and needs. However we believe that this project has a very good ROI and might s...
