When mapping risks, reflect upon these key questions:

What can go wrong, when and how?
What is the potential cost to time, money, and performance?
How likely is it to happen?
What are the impacts of each risk?
What is the source of the risk?
What can be done to reduce/control the risk?
Select the most suitable mitigation measure(s) by considering:
➜

The financial and other resources required;
The feasibility (including timing) of implementing it;
The potential impact of the measure on stakeholders’ values, perceptions and interests
– some may be more acceptable to stakeholders than others;
Whether the measure will compromise or be in conflict with any legal, regulatory or
other obligations that your organisation has.
TIP:
Projects benefit more from using a combination of measures.
