You are managing a software engineering project, when two team members come to you with a conflict. ?

The lead developer has identified an important project risk: you have a subcontractor that may not deliver on time. Another developer doesn't believe that the risk is likely to happen; however, you consult the lessons learned from previous projects and discover that subcontractors failed to deliver their work on two previous projects. You decide that the risk is too big; you terminate the contract with the subcontractor, and instead hire additional developers to build the component. Both team members agree that this has eliminated the risk. Which of the following BEST describes this scenario? A. Avoidance B. Acceptance C. Mitigation D. Transferrence

Mitigation. It is clear that subcontractor cannot deliver. Better option is in house production. Management can closely look into the development.

Answer: AExplanation: The best thing that you can do with a risk is avoid it - if you can prevent it from happening, it definitely won't hurt your project. The easiest way to avoid a risk is to cut it out of your project entirely; in this case, getting rid of the subcontractor avoids the risk. Sometimes avoiding one risk can lead to another. It's possible that there was a reason that you went with the subcontractor in the first place, and now you've exposed the project to a different risk! That's why Risk Management is so important.
