ITPEC IP October 2018 Question 57
ITPEC IP October 2018 — Question 57 of 100
Analyzing the previous delay and incorporating preventive measures reduces the probability or impact of another delay, so it is risk mitigation. The project still uses Company A, but changes the plan to make the identified risk less likely or less damaging.
Answer (a)
Why not others:
- canceling the subcontract removes the source of risk and is avoidance
- contractual compensation shifts financial consequences and is transfer
- budgeting for a possible delay acknowledges the risk and is acceptance
Key rule: Mitigation acts to reduce probability or impact; avoidance removes the threat, transfer shifts consequences, and acceptance prepares to tolerate it.
