For this Discussion, take the position of project manager and assume you are bearing the risk for the project at hand. Articulate how best to protect your interests as you respond to the following questions:

• Which PDS would be your preference, given the role you are assuming?
• In what ways does the choice of PDS influence the contracts used to allocate risk among stakeholders? What tools will you use in order to minimize your exposure to risk? Specifically, how will these tools offer you protection in the case of litigation?
