The revised/shortened version of the project plan introduces some risks. For the project team to deliver the first part of the redesigned user interface within the seven to nine months, they must assume their findings from the usability tests demonstrate that they have achieved their objectives. If they arrive at the end of the phase and find that they have not succeeded, they will have to consider making further changes to the designs. And if these changes are considerable, they should perform another iteration and cycle through the reviews again. In this case they would not be able to meet the date prescribed for the first deliverable. It could also happen that they learn things in later phases that would impact the designs completed in the previous phases. If this were to happen, the project team may have to make changes to previously confirmed design solutions--design solutions that may have
