According to the PMI Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP)® Examination Content Outline1, one of the tasks in the domain of Risk Response is to recommend risk response strategies based on the risk appetite and tolerance of the organization and stakeholders1. One of the strategies for negative risks or threats is risk acceptance, which involves acknowledging the existence of a threat and making a conscious decision to accept it without taking any action2. In this scenario, the risk manager should recommend risk acceptance for the risk items that would be detrimental to project success, but the associated triggers cannot be managed by the organization and are unlikely to occur. Risk acceptance is appropriate when the risk exposure is low, the cost of other responses is high, or the risk response is outside the scope or influence of the project3. The risk manager should not recommend risk mitigation, which involves reducing the probability and/or impact of a threat2. The risk manager should not recommend risk enhancement, which is a strategy for positive risks or opportunities, not negative risks or threats2. The risk manager should not recommend risk exploitation, which is also a strategy for positive risks or opportunities, not negative risks or threats2. References: 1: PMI Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP)® Examination Content Outline, page 102: A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) – Sixth Edition, page 4363: A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) – Sixth Edition, page 437.
