First, identify potential risks and then assign each risk to the phase they could impact. Next, calculate a risk rating based on the severity and probability of the risk. Lastly, take note of budgetary or schedule impacts these risks could have. Risk Status To understand the impact of risks, track the progress of risk mitigation and provide a risk status. This helps communicate whether a risk has been successfully mitigated or not. These insights will ensure early visibility of delays or changes. Risk Mitigation Organizations should assign individuals to a specific risk with plans to help avoid the risk or decrease the severity. For optimal future learnings, they should associate a resolution status to each risk once it has been closed to refine the risk mitigation processes. Risk Resolution To find the best method to resolve risk, organizations should use risk resolution to analyze which strategy best fits their decision-making process. The strategies include risk acceptance, risk avoidance, risk protection, risk reduction and risk transfer.
