B seems too rigid, we should adapt as we go.

Wait, D sounds risky... just waiting for issues?

I think C makes more sense, balancing capacity is key.

Adding risk mitigation time to each requirement sounds familiar, but I wonder if that would really help in the long run.

I feel like just holding risks until they become issues is too reactive. We should definitely do something before they escalate.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think the 80/20 rule could be useful for balancing risk and regular tasks.

I remember we discussed the importance of addressing risks proactively, so I think adding risk mitigation tasks to the backlog makes sense.

This is a tricky one. I'm leaning towards option C, the 80/20 rule. Reserving some capacity for risk mitigation could help us stay on top of things without overloading the backlog. But I'd need to think it through a bit more.

I think the key here is to be proactive in addressing the increased risk. Option A seems like the best approach - get those risk mitigation tasks planned and executed. Waiting until they become issues is just asking for trouble.
AU

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure here. Should we really be adding more tasks to the backlog? Option C about reserving capacity for risk mitigation sounds interesting, but I'm not sure how that would work in practice.
AL

This seems like a straightforward risk management question. I'd go with option A - adding risk mitigation tasks to the backlog and prioritizing them.

I think applying the 80/20 rule could also be a good approach. It ensures that we allocate some capacity for risk mitigation in each sprint.

Haha, D is like burying your head in the sand. Waiting for issues to arise and then dealing with them? No thanks, I'd rather be prepared.
YU
Yun

Hmm, I'm not sure about that. C looks interesting - reserving 20% of each sprint for risk mitigation could be a good safety net.
EV
