Work involves in identifying response. Responses can be Avoid, Accept, Transfer, Contain and Reserve. Mitigation or Contingency Plan should be worked out. This plan needs to have greater details for high impact risks. Risks also need to be assigned to the owners, where required. Risks that are low on priority are left out of response planning activity.

• Review the risk triggers. Confirm if any of the risks has occurred.
• Reassess risk sources on a regular basis. Check if there are any new risks resulting from changes in the technology, project, organization, or resources and update the plan with the new risks.
