This document provides strategies for avoiding risks on a project by not letting subcontractors perform certain work, reducing the project scope, using familiar technologies, or hiring specialists rather than handling risks internally. It suggests avoiding the source of risks by performing the work yourself if a subcontractor poses problems, narrowing the deliverables to only those that can definitely be achieved, changing the project approach to mitigate risks, and relying on expertise of specialists instead of taking risks in-house.
