Creating a Risk and Contingency Plan

Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2

The risk and contingency plan describes the risk factors that could prevent the pilot from being deployed successfully. Risks might include the test lab being behind schedule, required hardware or software being unavailable, or participants working on other projects or needing additional training.

Properly addressing risk factors that could prevent a successful deployment in a pilot environment reduces the likelihood of encountering those same problems when you deploy into your production environment.
