Common use of Risk Control Clause in Contracts

Risk Control. To determine the mitigation strategy, the Project Team brainstorms using a variety of tools including checklists of risk reduction techniques, cost benefits analysis, and an analysis of alternative approaches. The risk is assigned to an owner, who is primarily responsible for monitoring the specific activities of the mitigation plan for that particular risk. The Project Team reviews the alternatives and reaches consensus on which alternative to pursue. Once a plan is adopted, appropriate actions are taken to implement the plan. A contingency budget is also established within the Risk Management plan in the event the initial mitigation strategy is not successful. Risk Management is an ongoing process throughout the life of the project. Risk mitigation activities are integrated into the Work Breakdown Structure and are reviewed during project meetings and planning sessions. Project Managers are required to review and update risks under their control on a regular basis. On-going Risk Management procedures are included in weekly, monthly and periodic activities.
