Act
Act is simply that. It is the implementation of the defined Risk Mitigation Strategies. Well it’s actually not that simple. Human nature is such that we tend to put off the things that aren’t fun, interesting or that might be just plain hard work. This is project suicide when it comes to Risk. It is imperative that you deal with the high Risk items first. Deferring performance testing and finding out a week before implementation that you can’t possibly achieve the requisite transactional throughput may be the death of your project. At a minimum, someone is going to have to do a lot of explaining – don’t let that be you.
