	*'''Risk Acceptance:''' This strategy involves accepting the risk and its potential consequences without taking any action. The risk response strategy can be categorized as either passive or active: passive acceptance involves documenting the strategy without taking any action, leaving the project team to address the risks as they arise, and periodically reviewing the threat to ensure that it has not significantly changed. The most prevalent form of active acceptance is creating a contingency reserve that includes time, money, or resources to manage the risks. Risk acceptance approach is suitable for risks with low potential impact or those that are not worth the cost of mitigation or avoidance.		*'''Risk Acceptance:''' This strategy involves accepting the risk and its potential consequences without taking any action.

	Once risks have been identified, the next step is to assess their likelihood and impact. This involves assigning a probability and severity score to each risk, as well as numerically analyze the effect of identified risks on overall project objectives (schedule, budget, etc). By doing so, and record it in the Risk Register, it is possible to identify the highest priority risks, helping the project team focusing their efforts on the most critical ones. In order to do so, it is necessary to perform a qualitative and a quantitative risk analysis.		Once risks have been identified, the next step is to assess their likelihood and impact.

In order to do so, it is necessary to perform a qualitative and a quantitative risk analysis.

	In the first technique, usually carried out by the project team or an expert, after the identification of potential risks, a categorization based on their probability of occurrence and potential impact is conducted, as well as the rating of each risk according to the two factors, resulting in a risk matrix. The risk matrix provides a clear visual representation of the relative importance of each risk and allows the team to concentrate on those with the highest potential impact.

	The Monitor and Control Risks process involves implementing risk response plans and ensure that it is being executed as planned, tracking identified risks, monitoring residual risks, identifying new risks, and evaluating the effectiveness of risk strategies throughout the project. in this step it is necessary to define indicators, dominate a responsible and define a time-window for monitoring each risk. The main outputs of this process include updates to risk register and risk response plan, change requests, work performance information, and project management plan updates.
