You are the business analyst for your organization and working with the stakeholders to prioritize the requirements. The stakeholders are concerned…

The three categories of risk tolerance associated with the stakeholders are neutrality, risk-seeking,

and risk-aversion1. These categories describe how willing the stakeholders are to accept the

uncertainty and potential negative consequences of the requirements and the solution. Neutrality

means that the stakeholders are indifferent to the risk level and do not have a preference for more or

less risky options. Risk-seeking means that the stakeholders are willing to take on more risk in

exchange for higher rewards or benefits. Risk-aversion means that the stakeholders prefer to avoid or

minimize risk and opt for safer or more reliable options. Mitigation is not a category of risk tolerance,

but rather a strategy or technique for reducing the impact or likelihood of a

risk2. Reference: Business Analysis Expert Certification, CCBA® | IIBA®, Certification of Capability in
