What takes place during the risk assessment and reduction sector of a spiral loop?

The project is reviewed and a decision is made whether to continue to the next loop

The development model for the system is chosen based on what risks are dominant

For each identified project risk, a detailed analysis is carried out and steps are taken to reduce the risk — for example, developing a prototype if requirements may be inappropriate

Specific objectives for the phase are defined and a management plan is drawn up

Correct Answer

For each identified project risk, a detailed analysis is carried out and steps are taken to reduce the risk — for example, developing a prototype if requirements may be inappropriate

Explanation

In the risk assessment and reduction sector, a detailed analysis is carried out for each identified project risk and steps are taken to reduce it. For example, if there is a risk that the requirements are inappropriate, a prototype system may be developed to check.
