How you manage Risks

Question

Accepted Answer

I manage risks by identifying, assessing, prioritizing, and mitigating them.

I identify risks by analyzing project requirements, stakeholder expectations, and potential obstacles.
I assess risks by evaluating their likelihood and impact on project objectives.
I prioritize risks by ranking them based on their severity and potential consequences.
I mitigate risks by developing and implementing risk response plans, such as contingency plans or risk avoidance strategies.
I monitor risks throughout the project lifecycle and adjust risk response plans as needed.
For example, in a software development project, I identified a risk of delays due to a shortage of skilled developers. I assessed the likelihood and impact of this risk and prioritized it as high. To mitigate this risk, I developed a contingency plan to hire additional developers and cross-train existing team members. I monitored the risk throughout the project and adjusted the plan as needed.
