The limited number of highly skilled technical consultants participating in the TA was identified as a risk in the DMF. However, delays were still encountered due to this issue. The DIgSILENT Managing Director’s taking on-site team leadership for the project addressed the problem, but this was because the fourth request for extension was denied. When a limited number of highly skilled technical consultants are participating in a project, there ought to be a risk management plan for the early exit or the unavailability of one of the critical team members. An appropriate mitigation would be to include a back-up person in the team or to keep an identified back-up person in the loop of project planning and implementation in case they would need to step in should a team member become unavailable. This will reduce the negative impact of an early exit or the unavailability of a team member if it were to occur.
