A cross-training program involves teaching team members the skills and knowledge of other team members, allowing them to fill in or support each other in case of absence or departure. This was able to mitigate risks in the project as there were backups available at any given time. A mentoring program involves a senior member of the team guiding and advising a junior member, which may not necessarily lead to immediate backup options. A duplication program involves creating multiple copies of the same resource or personnel, which may not be feasible or efficient. Featherbedding refers to the practice of requiring more workers than necessary for a particular job, and is not applicable in this context.
