9. Risk management and scope changes

Intermediate★ Must knowLesson 9 of 13
  • Maintain a risk register: risk, probability, impact, owner, mitigation, contingency.
  • Common risks: unclear requirements, dependencies on other teams/vendors, key-person dependency, new technology, environments, data migration, performance, security/compliance.
  • Strategies: avoid, mitigate, transfer, accept.
  • Scope creep: every change goes through impact analysis (effort, timeline, risk) → agreement with the PO/client → change request or backlog reprioritisation. In fixed-price projects, formal change requests matter.
