From low severity and for high severity of risk:-
1) Accept The Risk:- This is a good strategy to use for very small risks – risks that won’t have much of an impact on your project if they happen and could be easily dealt with if or when they arise. It could take a lot of time to put together an alternative risk management strategy or take action to deal with the risk, so it’s often a better use of your resources to do nothing for small risks.
2)Avoid The Risk:- You can also change your plans completely to avoid the risk. avoid risk This is a good strategy for when a risk has a potentially large impact on your project.
3) Transfer The Risk:- Transference is a risk management strategy that isn’t used very often and tends to be more common in projects where there are several parties. Essentially, you transfer the impact and management of the risk to someone else.
4) Mitigate The Risk :- Mitigating against a risk is probably the most commonly mitigation of risk used risk management technique. It’s also the easiest to understand and the easiest to implement. What mitigation means is that you limit the impact of a risk, so that if it does occur, the problem it creates is smaller and easier to fix.
5) Exploit The Risk:- Acceptance, avoidance, transference and mitigation are great to use when the risk has a negative impact on the project. But what if the risk has a positive impact? For example, the risk that the new washing machines are so popular that we don’t have enough Sales staff to do the demonstrations? That’s a positive risk – something that would have a benefit to the project and the company if it happened. In those cases, we want to maximize the chance that the risk happens, not stop it from happening or transfer the benefit to someone else! Exploitation is the risk management strategy to use in these situations. Look for ways to make the risk happen or for ways to increase the impact if it does.
