In a complex program, it is crucial for team members to assume ownership of risks before these are delegated.
Encouraging the program team to assume risk ownership ensures that they are fully engaged and responsible for managing the risks assigned to them. This approach promotes accountability and helps ensure that risks are actively managed throughout the program's lifecycle.
PMI's guidelines on risk management emphasize the importance of assigning clear ownership of risks to ensure that they are effectively managed and that responsibilities are clearly understood by all team members.
