Risk Exploiting

A positive-risk response in which the team deliberately takes actions to make the opportunity certain and capture its benefits.

Key Points

  • Used for opportunities (positive risks), not threats.
  • Focuses on making the opportunity happen with certainty, not merely increasing its likelihood.
  • May involve assigning top resources, adopting proven solutions, changing scope, or resequencing work to lock in the gain.
  • Distinct from enhance (raise probability), share (partner to realize the benefit), and accept (take no proactive action).

Example

To secure an early-finish bonus, the project manager assigns the most experienced team, switches to a proven modular design, and fast-tracks approvals so the early completion is guaranteed.

PMP Example Question

A project offers a $200,000 incentive if completed two weeks early. The project manager assigns the best performers, books an additional crane, and adopts a proven construction method to ensure the earlier finish. Which risk response strategy is being used?

  1. Exploit
  2. Enhance
  3. Share
  4. Accept

Correct Answer: A — Exploit

Explanation: The manager is taking deliberate steps to guarantee the opportunity occurs, which is exploiting the opportunity.
