11.5 Plan risk responses

Plan Risk Responses is the process of developing options and actions to enhance opportunities and to reduce
threats to project objectives. The key benefit of this process is that it addresses the risks by their priority, inserting
resources and activities into the budget, schedule and project management plan as needed. The inputs, tools and
techniques, and outputs of this process are depicted in Figure 11-18. Figure 11-19 depicts the data flow diagram
