Top risks

  • WMS vendor capacity — buffer exhausted; any further slip hits the dress rehearsal. Mitigation: weekly vendor steering call, penalty clause invoked at next slip.
  • Certification inspector availability in week 35 — backup inspector identified.

Decisions needed

Approve € 18k contingency for a second WMS test environment (accelerates integration testing by ~1 week). Decision needed by 20 Aug in the steering committee.
