5	Phase	ID	Category	Risk Item	Effect	Cause	Likelihood	Severity	Importance	Action to Minimize Risk	Owner
6			What type of risk is this?	Describe the risk briefly	What is the effect on any or all of the project deliverables if the cause actually happens?	What are the possible cause(s) of this risk?	L	S	L*S	What action(s) will you take (and by when) to prevent, reduce the impact of, and/or transfer the risk of this occurring?	Who is responsible for following through on mitigation?
7	Phase 1	1	Resource	Finding a Testing Location	Testing variable and performance correlations wouldn't be possible without a test location	More strict regulations on facility use than P19464 faced	3	2	6	Need customer requirements solidified to help understand the environment	Dan & Matt
8		2	Resource	Time Delays	Pushes back schedule of work, and potentially makes us miss milestone deliverables	Weather forces us to cancel meetings, getting sick, new customer requirements	2	2	4	Keep a clear focus on priorities and ensure everyone reaches out if they are struggling to accomplish anything on time	Dan
9		3	Resource	Harm to testing location from debris testing	Limited testing may be available in the future	Debris that is successfully filtered collected is not collected if testing in a controlled environment	1	2	2	Minimize debris introduced into the environment, Ensure foreign debris introduced is removed after testing	Pat
10		4	Technical	Scaling up pump negatively alters performance	Additional testing required	Physics	3	1	3	Well designed testing to evaluate and solve problems caused by increased scale	Alan
11		5	Environmental	Harm to prototype from environmental testing	Product must be repaired, causing time delays	Large debris may damage pump/clog filters	2	1	2	Have a second prototype or a rapid prototyping method	Alan
12		6	Environmental	Design for one environment may not be environment of use	Flowtration pump doesn't filter for correct environmental debris or conditions	Floating debris is incorrect, water contains other contaminants filter doesn't address	2	1	2	Need customer requirements solidified to help understand the cultural environment	Pat
13		7	Social	Product isn't culturally accepted or used	Nobody wants to use the pump	Cultural influences, may want to save face?	2	1	2	Need customer requirements solidified to help understand the cultural environment	Joe
14		8	Environmental	Device disposal hurts the environment	Flowtration pump may not be as widely used as we intend it to be	No disposal instructions, or plans for alternative uses when parts require maintenance or reach end of life	2	2	4	Have a robust product that is rarely replaced/disposed of	Dan
15		9	Safety	Fails to purify the water to the point that it's safe	Water is unsafe to drink	Something breaks the filter/hollow membrane. Filter is not properly backwashed when needed Filter is not installed correctly	2	3	6	Ensure the filtering is done off shore and ensure there are very clear instructions for use and how to backwash the filter when needed	Pat
16		10	Safety	Filters malfunctions	Water is unsafe to drink	Something breaks the filter/hollow membrane. Filter is not properly backwashed when needed. Filter is not installed correctly	2	3	6	Ensure the filtering is done off shore and ensure there are very clear instructions for use and how to backwash the filter when needed	Pat
17	Phase 2	11	Safety	Physical Harm due to construction on new prototype	Injury to team members	Any power tools needed	1	3	3	Properly use any potentially harmful equipment, use appropriate PPE, follow best practices for any tools needed	Alan
18		12	Resource	Going over budget	Could limit our ability to build/design	Poor money management	1	2	2	Keep a purchase tracking sheet, always check surplus material area before purchasing, shop around for best prices, come to a group consensus before purchasing	Pat
19		13	Resource	Scope Creep	Could cause us to spread work across too many focuses, limiting ability to effectively address any of them	Trying to add on more little by little	1	2	2	Weekly/Biweekly checkins to ensure that all work is still in line with the scope of the proect	Dan
20		14	Safety	Bodily harm during testing	Not allowed to use that testing area anymore, and injury to someone	People swimming in the test area, slips and falls	1	2	2	Make sure testing area is restricted from public use during testing	Dan
21	Phase 3	15	Resource	Fins break	As the fins will have some drilling to mount them, there a possiblity of braking through.	the new design idea that requires drilling.	1	1	1	Having extra fins, and be careful while drilling.	Joe
22		16	Technical	Wheels not aligned	having multiple holes on both of the wheels to attach the fins might also be a problem, any small difference in the size or the place of the hole might cause an issue.	human error can alway happen, any unexpected monement while drilling the holes can affacet that proble.	2	2	4	Measure twice drill once. We have extra brackets and can afford mistakes with those	Matt
23		17	Resource/Technical	Wheel break	Depending on the material of the wheel, the prussre that will be put on it from drilling the multiple holes and attaching the fins to it might have a possibality of breaking it.	Prusser of driller and all the tubing and pump that will hang on it.	1	3	3	Don't rush any of the building process, have excess budget for things that go wrong.	Alan
24		18	Technical	Not portable enough	trying to have the project as robuts and as effecient as possible, it kind of make it hard to have it fit in a backpack.	the extra wheel we are adding and all the new materials needed for the design.	3	1	3	Our re-designed scope really doesn't require us to focus on the portability	Joe
25		19	Safety	user does not back-wash filter frequently enough	Filter malfunction resulting in damaged filter and unsafe drinking water	Poor documentation to demonstrate and teach the user how to back-wash the filter	1	3	6	Training needs to be done in person. We have the UWP's training documenttion and can hand that forward to the aid organization that recieves our device.	Pat
26		20	Resource	Harm to device from transporting	Device is damaged while being moved to testing locations	Poorly secured device jostles around during transportation	2	2	4	Precautions need to be taken while moving the device	Matt
