A retail company is implementing Salesforce Commerce Cloud. The project has a critical holiday-season go-live.

Purchase additional server capacity to handle the traffic

Delay the go-live until after the holiday season

Implement a fallback payment method that can be activated if the primary gateway fails

Accept the risk and monitor the gateway during peak traffic

A risk assessment identifies two risks: Risk A has a 10% likelihood of occurring and would cause a minor delay. Risk B has a 5% likelihood but would completely halt the project for a month. According to standard risk prioritization, which risk should be addressed first?

Risk B, because its impact is significantly higher

Risk A, because it is more likely to occur

Neither, because both have low likelihood

Both risks equally, because any risk should be mitigated

A project team has identified a risk that a critical team member might leave mid-project. They create a contingency plan that includes cross-training another team member and documenting key processes. When should this contingency plan be activated?

Only after the team member actually leaves

When a trigger condition indicates the risk is imminent

At the end of the project, as a review
