During the planning phase of a project, the team identifies a low-impact risk that is unlikely to occur. The project manager decides not to take any action but will monitor the risk and address it if it occurs. Which risk response strategy is the project manager applying?
The project manager is using the Accept risk response strategy. Accepting a risk means acknowledging its existence but not taking proactive measures unless the risk materializes. This approach is suitable for risks with low probability and low impact. Avoid involves changing plans to eliminate the risk entirely, which is not the case here. Mitigate means taking steps to reduce the risk's probability or impact before it happens, which the project manager is not doing. Transfer involves shifting the risk to a third party, such as through insurance, which isn't occurring in this scenario.
