===Risk Management===

The risks associated with the project were low because the project was majorly software based and there were no issues that arose. Since we did not need any hardware, the project was not impacted with any long term delays. The table below was developed to highlight some of the most likely risks that could have become an issue and their estimated impact levels on the project progression.
