4. Treatment Strategy

Strategy

Description

Avoidance

Risk avoidance is elimination (removal) of the risk in such a way that it is no longer applicable
to the project. It is the first choice of any risk strategy and can be done by:

removing
  • Removing any lack of knowledge, or uncertainty that caused the risk.

choosing
  • Choosing an approach whereby the risk is no longer applicable.

Reduction

Mitigation

Risk

reduction is

mitigating

,

or reducing the risk by reducing the impact, or loss it can cause.
The idea is that risks are to be mitigated till the risk exposure is within “acceptable limits”.

Transfer

Risk transfer transfers the liability of the risk to a third party through contractual agreements, insurance, indemnity, warranty, and so on.
In such a way, you change ownership of the risk. There must be a proper communication and evidence of Risk Transfer.

Acceptance

Risk acceptance is accepting, or retention of the risk and is typically the response after avoidance, transfer and mitigation were considered or tried.
It is typical for minor risks, and it indicates cases where the cost of any other strategy exceeds the risk itself.
There must be a proper communication and approval of Risk Acceptance from the Management (Delivery Supervisor or Account Manager).
