R – Remediation: Managing Risk Before It Becomes Crisis

Risk is not the enemy—unmanaged risk is. This chapter flips traditional views on risk by treating it not as a threat to fear but a reality to master. Evan teaches how risk visibility, ownership, and response planning are what differentiate great Agile teams from the rest.

You’ll explore tools like the Risk Register, Risk Breakdown Structures (RBS), RAID Logs, and Probability/Impact matrices—but more importantly, you’ll learn how to embed them into the daily rhythm of your teams. Evan explains how to cultivate psychological safety so team members are empowered to raise risks early and honestly.

A case study from Nexora HealthTech illustrates how one team avoided disaster by pivoting from a failing microservices plan to a simpler architecture—because they recognized risk signals early and took action.

Consulting takeaway: Evan leads risk remediation workshops that give teams practical frameworks and the cultural mindset to make risk mastery part of their DNA.
