Options

• AStart a quantitative analysis to understand the impact.
• BCrash the schedule to mitigate the risk consequences.
• CTransfer the risk to the external team.
• DAsk the risk owners to review the risk response plan.

• A
  3% (1)
• B
  11% (4)
• C
  6% (2)
• D
  80% (28)

Explanation

The core team has exhausted the current risk response strategy (completing unrelated tasks in advance) and is now at a standstill waiting on the external team. The appropriate next step is to ask the risk owners to review the risk response plan (D). The risk response plan may include secondary responses or contingency actions for exactly this scenario-when the primary response has been fully utilized and the risk still impacts the project. Starting a quantitative analysis (A) is retroactive at this point. Crashing the schedule (B) is a schedule compression technique that requires available resources, not applicable here. Transferring the risk to the external team (C) is not meaningful since the project team is already affected and cannot simply shift accountability.
