I vaguely recall that assigning resolution to the component project manager might not be enough if they’re already overwhelmed.

I feel like increasing flexibility could help, but I’m not clear on how that would actually work in practice.

I think we practiced a similar question where the focus was on escalation procedures. It makes sense to include those in the risk response plan.

I remember we discussed how important it is for the program manager to stay involved in risk management, but I'm not sure if delegating responsibilities is the best approach.
