Sviluppo del piano di riduzione dei rischi
L’analisi del rischio può portare alle seguenti modalità di gestione dello stesso:
Evitare il rischio
Tipicamente si cerca di evitare i rischi nelle fasi di pianificazione iniziale di un progetto quando si stanno definendo le macro attività da svolgere e quando si prendono le decisioni più impattanti.
Controllo del rischio
In questo caso vengono definite delle azioni da inserire nel piano di progetto in modo tale da ridurre il fattore di rischio.
Questa modalità viene adottata tipicamente nelle fasi di sviluppo degli applicativi.
Accettazione del rischio
Tipicamente questa decisione viene presa quando non ci sono alternative, ossia quando il management di progetto non ha le leve per fare azioni atte a ridurre il grado di rischio.
Questa scelta viene inoltre adottata quando il rapporto costo/beneficio è molto elevato.
Trasferimento del rischio
Questa soluzione viene adottata se esiste la possibilità di subappaltare una parte di progetto a un fornitore specializzato nella materia trattata in modo tale da evitare il rischio derivante da mancanza di competenze necessarie alla particolare area di progetto.
| Translation - English
Development of the Risk Management Plan
The risk analysis can lead to the following approaches to managing risk:
Avoiding risk
Efforts to avoid risks are typically made during the initial planning stages of a project, when the macro activities to be carried out are being defined and the high-impact decisions are taken.
Controlling risk
In this case, actions to be included in the project plan are defined in order to reduce the risk factor.
This method is typically adopted during the application development phases.
Accepting risk
This is a decision taken typically when there is no alternative, or rather when the project management does not have the leverage necessary to take the actions which could reduce the risk level.
This approach may also be chosen when the cost/benefit ratio is very high.
Transferring risk
This solution is adopted if it is possible to subcontract part of the project to a supplier with specialist experience in the relevant area, so as to avoid the risk deriving from a lack of the necessary skills in that particular domain. | Italian to English: Technical contract

Os Xavante se autodominam A'UWE, isto é: gente, pessoas de verdade, homens de verdade.
Habitat:
Até quase a metade do século passado, os Xavante viviam no território entre os rios Araguaia e Tocantins. Em seguida, por motivo de perseguições, se deslocaram para o território compreendido entre os rios Coluene e das Mortes, no Mato Grosso. Atualmente, habitam as reservas de Pimentel Barbosa, Areões, Parabubure, Marechal Rondon, São Marcos e Sangradouro; faltando executar ainda a demarcação de Suiá-missu.
Língua:
Os Xavante pertencem ao “Tronco Macro-Jê”, cujo maior constituinte é a família lingüística Jê. Como os Xavante, pertencem a esta família os Xerente, Kaingáng, Kayapó, Canela, Apinayé.
.....
A Aldeia:
A aldeia original Xavante, construída sempre nas proximidades de um córrego ou rio menor, tem a forma de uma ferradura, com a abertura voltada para o rio. As casas têm a porta sempre voltada para o centro da aldeia. Numa das extremidades da aldeia se encontra a Casa dos Adolescentes. No meio há uma grande praça, local de reuniões dos homens. Aí também são tomadas as grandes decisões do “Conselho dos Anciãos”.
.....
Atualmente, são poucos os Xavante que conservam a forma original da casa. Estão imitando a palhoça do caboclo, com graves conseqüências negativas para a vida tribal.
A concepção simbólica do semi-arco, presente no mito da origem dos Xavante (o arco-íris), na disposição das danças religiosas, na forma da aldeia, no arco da casa, está ausente atualmente.
A tradicional casa Xavante, a cada 04 ou 05 anos, mudava de lugar, reconstruíndo-a. Atualmente, não muda, sendo feitas de madeiras mais consistentes; daí a problemática da falta de higiene.
| Translation - English
The Xavante call themselves A'UWE, which means "people," "real people," "real men."
Habitat:
Until just before the middle of the last century, the Xavante lived in the territory between the Araguaia and Tocantins rivers. Following this period, they moved to the territory between the Coluene and das Mortes rivers, in Mato Grosso, because of persecution. Currently, they live on the reserves of Pimental Barbosa, Areões, Parabubure, Marechal Rondon, São Marcos and Sangradouro; the boundaries of Suiá-missu not being defined yet.
Language:
The Xavante belong to the Macro-Ge language family tree, whose major constituent is the Ge linguistic family. Other peoples who belong to this group along with the Xavante include the Xerente, Kaingáng, Kayapó, Canela and Apinayé.
.....
The Village:
The original Xavante village was always built near a stream or small river and has the form of a horseshoe with the opening facing the river. The doors of the houses are always facing the centre of the village. On one end of the village is the House of Adolescents. In the middle there is a large plaza, where the men have meetings. The "Council of Elders" also makes important decisions there.
.....
Currently, there are few Xavante who maintain the original shape of the house. They now imitate the simple straw hut of the caboclo, which has serious negative consequences for tribal life.
The symbolic conception of the bow, present in the Xavante's origin myth (the rainbow), in the pattern of religious dances, in the shape of villages, in the arch of the house, is currently missing.
In the past, the traditional Xavante house was moved to a different place and rebuilt every 4 or 5 years. Currently, it is not moved, as it is made of more solid wood; this results in the problem of a lack of hygiene.
