			Data loss & 4 & 1 & 4 & Make regular backups and store in separate physical locations to offset damage from fires/floods etc. \\ \hline
			Bug in work & 2 & 3 & 6 & Use source control with regular commits to ensure when something goes wrong, it can be easily rectified. \\ \hline
			Development environment failure & 2 & 2 & 4 & Save changes on a regular basis, reducing the amount of damage that can occur from an IDE crash or similar situation. \\ \hline
			Network failure & 3 & 2 & 6 & Use another suitable network connection. As a last resort, a mobile data connection could be used. \\ \hline
			Temporary computer failure & 3 & 1 & 3 & Use a lab machine or borrow a laptop from the university. \\ \hline
			Interfering work & 3 & 2 & 6 & Ensure all deadlines are known in advance and manage time accordingly so all work can be completed to an acceptable standard in plenty of time. \\ \hline
			Underestimation of work completion time & 3 & 3 & 9 & Be conservative when planning time for unfamiliar work. Plan periods of time that allow for catching up. \\ \hline
			Absent supervisor/examiner & 3 & 1 & 3 & Approach tutor for advice. \\ \hline
