Inconsistent data schemas may delay integration timeline
Mitigation:
Dedicated 2-week discovery sprint focused on data audit with early remediation plan
Cross-functional misalignment could slow decision-making
Mitigation:
Change lead embedded from day one with weekly steering committee
Scope creep or resource constraints may extend deployment
Mitigation:
Phased deployment gates with strict scope governance and weekly progress reviews
Unexpected technical complexity could increase costs
Mitigation:
Fixed-fee phases with clear scope boundaries and change-order governance
