Interaction & UX
Risk conversations fail when everyone in the room is working from a different definition. One person means user impact. Another means business exposure. A third means legal compliance. Without shared language, you talk in circles… and then the risky design ships anyway.
This preview from *Design Risk Assessment and Management* introduces the four reasons risk management goes wrong on most UX teams. In the full course, Therese Fessenden walks you through a practical framework for anticipating hazards, assessing and prioritizing them, choosing mitigation strategies, and embedding risk awareness into the rituals your team already runs.
