  • Risk Mitigation Planning
    to develop strategies and plans to reduce the probability of risks occurring or minimize their impact if they do occur. This involves choosing among options such as avoiding, transferring, mitigating, or accepting risks.
  • Resource Allocation
    To ensure that resources (time, budget, personnel) are allocated efficiently to manage risks. This includes provisioning for contingency reserves and allocating the necessary tools and techniques
