So far, we've been looking at each task individually, working out which risks we're addressing, and which ones we're exposed to as a result. If you have plenty of spare talent and only a few tasks, then maybe that's enough and you can get to work on all the tasks that have a positive [Payoff](/tags/Payoff). But if you're constrained, then you should be hunting for the [actions](/tags/Take-Action) with the biggest [Payoff](/tags/Payoff) and doing those first.

Things change too when you have a whole team engaged in the planning process. Although people will generally agree on what the risks _are_, they often will disagree on the [Probability they will occur, or the impact if they do](/thinking/Track-Risk#risk-registers). In cases like these, you might want to allow each stakeholder to "vote up" the risks they consider significant, or vote up the actions they consider to have high [Payoff](/tags/Payoff). This will be covered in further detail in the [next section](Stop-Estimating-Start-Navigating).

- **We've made explicit the trade-offs for carrying out pieces of work**. If [building the right thing](Fixing-Scrum#10x) is the most important thing we can do, then making sure the whole team are on the same page with respect to what the pros or cons might be.
