You are managing a software upgrade project. During the risk analysis phase, you identified a significant risk that critical software may not be delivered due to potential vendor licensing issues. According to best practices in 'Plan Risk Responses,' what is your FIRST step in devising an effective response for this risk?
Direct the team to develop a workaround without consulting the vendor about the licensing issue.
Shift all focus to resolving the licensing issue immediately, diverting resources from other critical project tasks.
Evaluate response strategies such as avoidance, transfer, mitigation, or acceptance for the identified licensing risk.
Ignore the licensing issue and proceed with the software upgrade, assuming the vendor will honor the current licenses.
The first step is to evaluate possible response strategies for this risk that could include avoidance, transfer, mitigation, or acceptance. Properly analyzing and selecting a risk response that is appropriate to the significance of the risk, cost-effective, realistic within the project context, agreed upon by stakeholders, and owned by a responsible party forms the basis for an effective risk management plan.
