Delivery risk

Delivery risk is the chance that a build slips or fails because critical dependencies were not resolved early.

Delivery risk is usually not a surprise. It shows up in unclear data requirements, new integrations, or brittle infrastructure.

Typical sources

Data migrations, third-party APIs, permissions, and scaling limits often derail timelines. These should be solved before UI polish.

Risk-first sequencing

If you resolve the risky parts first, you avoid late-stage rewrites. It feels slower early on, but it saves weeks later.

What to document

Write down dependencies, owners, and test plans. Risk is not just technical. It is also a coordination problem.
