HS.2.5 Risk mitigation and trade-offs

Purpose : To mitigate project risk by using HFI data in trade-offs and risk management

Successful outcomes:

1. The impact on overall system characteristics are identified arising from changes (or differences) in human performance, cost or risk.
2. Potential conflicts between HFI and other risks or issues are reconciled or traded off.
3. Project resources are allocated on the basis of an explicit assessment of threats to system usability.

1. Risks to usability and other HFI aspects are identified, evaluated and mitigated.

2. HFI risks include operational risks.

3. The management strategy emphasises the need to identify and address risk.

4. Resouces are prioritised to match risk and emerging HFI issues.

5. The project and system risks arising from organisational changes e.g. reduced staffing levels are identified and mitigated.

6. The extent to which usability criteria (and other HFI requirements) will be met by the proposed design is assessed.

7. The effect of the context of use is taken into account (including the use of other equipment).

8. The impact of performance (or changes in performance) at a component, equipment or sub-system level is assessed at overall system level.

9. HFI risks receive effective mitigation.
