Rob is the project manager of the IDLK Project for his company. This project has a budget of $5,600,000 and is expected to last 18 months. Rob has learned that a new law may affect how the project is

Transference involves shifting the risk to a third party, which is not suitable for a new legal requirement affecting project progress.

Enhance is a positive risk strategy (opportunity response), aiming to increase the probability or impact of an opportunity, not a negative risk (threat).

Mitigation involves reducing the probability or impact of a risk, which may be difficult or impossible for a new law that fundamentally changes project viability or approach.

Acceptance is the appropriate risk response when the organization decides to acknowledge the risk and not take any action to change its likelihood or impact. In this scenario, a new law represents an external, often unavoidable, factor that the project may have to simply endure or adapt to without direct control over its occurrence, especially with sunk costs. This response is often chosen when the cost of other responses outweighs the potential impact of the risk.
