Summary: The risk-management process enables teams to assess risks during the design process in order to reduce harm to users and to the organization. Risk mitigation involves systematically reducing the likelihood or the impact of a risk.



It’s impossible to see into the future and anticipate every possible outcome of our design decisions. As a result, every major design decision comes with risks : risk that the design will be unfamiliar or hard to use or unpopular, risk that it will cost too much money, or risk that it will be abused or cause harm.

If a design is well-evaluated before it is implemented, these risks will be small and its benefits will outweigh them. If a design is not well-evaluated, these risks could go unchecked, causing long-term harm to the organization and its customers.

To reduce harm and maximize the benefits of our designs, we need to incorporate risk management into our design decisions to identify , assess , control , and evaluate the risks in a systematic way.
