Control Risks

After you analyze and understand the impact that identified risks pose to your project or program, you can develop risk response actions aimed at mitigating the effects of the risks. Risk response planning enables you to identify and document actions you might take to alleviate the impact of an identified risk. You can also define post-response probability and impact values to illustrate how risk response planning can mitigate the impact of a risk, establishing a post-response context. For projects, you can run a risk analysis against your post-response context to examine the effectiveness of your risk response planning. Weather risks do not support pre-response and post-response context scenarios, but you can define response actions on weather risks to minimize the impact of specific weather events on your project.

Risk response actions and post-response values are created on the Risk Register page. This process is described in the Risk Scoring Overview topic. To better prioritize risk response actions, view all response actions and associated data on the risk Response Actions page.
