Risks and Areas of Concern
Time Risks (e.g. manufacturing of device and receiving shipment of parts on time)
Design Risks (e.g design is prone to high failure rate)
Production Risks (e.g. prototype is impossible to manufacture)
Hardware Failure Risks (e.g. purchased components are incompatible with design or prone to high failure rate)
Project Failure Risks (e.g. design is unable to work or be manufactured within the time-frame limit)
Resources or Information Required but not Available
