Risk Management Plan

• Identify Risk• Log risk into risk management tracking system

on the website• Categorize risk based on severity and

probability• Reduce risks on all identified risks using risk

reduction methods• Evaluate risk level.

May 3, 2005 Page 72

Page 73: Presentation Overview Problem Solution How I-Clock works Planning Strategies SBIR Phases Risks Future Plans Conclusion May 3, 2005 Page 2.

Risk Reduction Methods

• Avoidance

• Acceptance

• Transference

• Mitigation

Risk Matrix

• Very likely = 0.9• Likely = 0.7• 50/50 = 0.5• Unlikely = 0.3• Slightly Probable = 0.1

• Showstopper = 0.9• High = 0.7• Medium = 0.5• Low = 0.3• Very Low = 0.1

Severity Probability

May 3, 2005 Page 74

Page 75: Presentation Overview Problem Solution How I-Clock works Planning Strategies SBIR Phases Risks Future Plans Conclusion May 3, 2005 Page 2.

Risk Evaluation Method

• Use the following risk factor formula:

(S + P) – (S * P)

S = Severity

P = Probability

* Risks are managed to a sufficient level when the risk factor is below 0.8 for all risks.

Future Plans

• Accommodate other popular schedulers

• Monitor– National Emergency Services

• Tornado

• Hurricane

– Traffic

– Delays & Closings

• Travel Model– Incorporating GPS for the

international traveler

May 3, 2005 Page 81

Page 82: Presentation Overview Problem Solution How I-Clock works Planning Strategies SBIR Phases Risks Future Plans Conclusion May 3, 2005 Page 2.

Conclusion

• As personal schedules become more complex, we depend on technology more and more.

• Information is entered into ONE place ONE time

• The I-Clock synchronizes with a consumer’s scheduler and provides the modern features expected from new Internet Appliances.

Societal Impacts

• Pros– Enter information into one place all at once– Utilize a central information store– Alleviate stress by eliminating a routine task– Time and effort spent on more productive tasks

• Cons– Datacenter servers may not be secure– Fear of losing personal privacy

Customer Risks

• Fear of losing personal privacy– Clocks only identified by long ID number

• Variations in schedule must be entered into Outlook or bundled software– Target Market majority already using scheduler

• Customer comfort with technology– Survey indications
