Risk Mitigation

A risk response approach in which the project team takes actions to lower the likelihood that a threat will happen or to reduce its impact.

Key Points

  • Focuses on negative risks (threats) by reducing their probability, impact, or both.
  • Implemented through proactive measures documented in the risk response plan.
  • Assigns a risk owner and monitors residual and secondary risks after actions are taken.
  • Different from avoidance (eliminate the threat), transfer (shift it to a third party), and acceptance (acknowledge with minimal action).

Example

A key component might arrive late, threatening the schedule. The project manager adds a schedule buffer, negotiates earlier shipment, and qualifies an alternate supplier to reduce the chance and effect of a delay.
