When the suggested mitigation for a identified risk does not produce the expected results, the project manager should reevaluate the probability of the risk occurrence and the effectiveness of the mitigation strategy. This involves reassessing the risk and determining whether the existing mitigation plan needs adjustment or if alternative measures should be considered. It's a continuous process of risk management to ensure that the project stays on track despite potential challenges.

Selected Answer: B
The project manager should opt for **Option B: Reevaluate the probability of the risk occurrence and mitigation strategy**. This is because when a risk mitigation strategy does not produce the expected results, it's important to reassess the situation. The project manager should reevaluate the likelihood of the risk occurring and whether the mitigation strategy is still appropriate. This may involve gathering more information, consulting with team members, or considering alternative strategies. Remember, effective risk management is a dynamic process that requires ongoing monitoring and adjustment.

Selected Answer: B
The initial mitigation strategy didn't achieve the desired outcomes, suggesting that the risk assessment might need to be revisited. Reevaluating the probability of the risk occurring and the effectiveness of the mitigation strategy ensures the project manager has an accurate understanding of the current risk landscape. This reassessment helps determine if additional or alternative mitigation actions are necessary to protect the project.

Selected Answer: B
B. Reevaluate the probability of the risk occurrence and mitigation strategy. When a mitigation strategy doesn't produce the expected results, the project manager should reevaluate the risk. This involves assessing the probability of the risk occurring and reconsidering the mitigation strategy. A deeper understanding of the risk and its implications will provide the necessary foundation for determining the next best steps, whether that's adjusting the current mitigation strategy or adopting a new one.
