User Experience Design Risk Assessment & Management 5

Question 1

A UX team conducts a 'risk workshop' at project kickoff. Which output is MOST valuable from this session?

Accepted Answer

A prioritized risk register with assigned owners

Answer

A prioritized risk register with owners creates accountability and a shared understanding of what threats the project faces and who will address them.

Question 2

Which scenario best illustrates the UX risk of 'false affordance'?

Accepted Answer

A decorative element that looks clickable but does nothing

Answer

False affordance occurs when a visual element signals interactivity it does not have, causing user confusion and eroding interface trust.

Question 3

A company is releasing a multilingual app. What UX risk should be assessed related to text expansion in translated languages?

Accepted Answer

Translated text may be 30–50% longer, breaking UI layouts

Answer

Many languages require 30–50% more characters than English, which can overflow fixed-width UI components and break layouts if not planned for.

Question 4

A product's risk assessment identifies that third-party login (OAuth) creates a single point of failure for authentication. This is classified as what type of risk?

Accepted Answer

Dependency risk

Answer

Relying on a third-party service for a critical function is a dependency risk — if the external service fails, the product's core functionality is affected.

Question 5

During a design review, a stakeholder asks why certain high-risk UX issues were NOT mitigated. The most professional response is to reference which document?

Accepted Answer

The risk register showing the accepted risk decision and rationale

Answer

The risk register records decisions to accept risks along with their rationale, providing transparent documentation that can be referenced in stakeholder discussions.
