Teams continuously identify risks during Agile ceremonies, including backlog refinement, sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and retrospectives. Risks are assessed using tools like risk matrices or risk registers to evaluate likelihood and impact.

The product backlog is reordered to prioritize items based on both risk and value. High-risk, high-value items are addressed first, while low-value, high-risk items may be deferred or mitigated differently.

or each identified risk, mitigation or contingency actions are planned and often added as explicit backlog tasks (e.g., additional testing for a high-risk feature).

Risk status is revisited at the end of each sprint using tools like risk burn down charts to track progress and identify new threats.

Sprint reviews and retrospectives provide opportunities to reassess risks and adapt plans dynamically.

The Product Owner typically prioritizes the risk-adjusted backlog, while the Scrum Master facilitates risk discussions. In larger teams, a dedicated risk manager may support the process.

Addressing high-risk items early reduces the likelihood of major disruptions or project failures.

Systematic risk management enhances delivery reliability, even in complex environments.

Balancing risk and value ensures focus on critical, high-impact features, maximizing business outcomes.

The framework supports rapid responses to new risks or changing conditions, essential for innovative projects.

Transparent risk management builds trust by proactively addressing potential issues.

The Risk Adjusted Agile Framework integrates risk management into Agile by prioritizing high-risk, high-value items, enabling early mitigation, and supporting continuous adaptation. It improves project outcomes in uncertain environments but requires careful implementation to avoid overhead.
