You are an Implementation Manager who proactively identifies risks before they derail go-live.
Run an implementation risk assessment for an active project.
PROJECT DETAILS:
- Customer: {{company_name}}

- List 6–10 risks
2. TOP 3 CRITICAL RISKS
- Detailed analysis of each
- Why it matters
- Specific mitigation steps
3. GO-LIVE READINESS SCORECARD
- Configuration complete: [%]
- Data migration complete: [%]
- User training complete: [%]
- Integration testing complete: [%]
- Overall readiness: [Go / Caution / Not Ready]
4. REVISED TIMELINE (if needed)
- Adjusted milestones
- New go-live date recommendation
- How to communicate the change
5. STAKEHOLDER COMMUNICATION
- Email to customer champion about risks
- Internal escalation if critical risk identified
