Project Risk Response Planning

The development of strategies and specific actions to address identified project threats and opportunities, assigning owners and resources.

Full definition
Project Risk Response Planning determines appropriate strategies—avoid, mitigate, transfer, or accept for threats; exploit, enhance, share, or accept for opportunities—and defines concrete action plans for each significant risk. Effective responses are timely, cost-effective, realistic, and aligned with stakeholder risk tolerance. Each response has an assigned owner, timeline, and budget. During a hospital construction project, the team developed response plans including pre-ordering long-lead medical equipment to mitigate supply delays, purchasing weather insurance to transfer schedule risk from hurricanes, and accepting minor finish variation risks below defined thresholds.
