Question
You are the program manager of the GHY Program. Your program team has identified a risk dealing with the materials you will be using in the program. It is possible that if the materials are not installed properly they will cause serious damage in future phases of the program. Your team has recommended additional training and a consultant to help the team members install the material accurately to reduce the likelihood of the risk event. You agree and the team executes the risk response. What type of risk response have you implemented in this situation?

Explanation
Mitigation is a risk response strategy that reduces the probability and/or impact of a threat. By adding training and a consultant to ensure proper installation, the team is lowering the likelihood that the risk event (improper installation causing damage) will occur - a textbook mitigation response. Avoidance (D) would eliminate the risk entirely by changing plans. Enhancing (A) applies to opportunities, not threats. A workaround (B) is an unplanned response to a risk that has already occurred.
