occurrence of a project
constraint such as a period of
time or an event
16b

opportunity or threat identified in the risk
register will occur and is expressed as
either a numerical value or a ranking
which is traditionally High, Moderate, or
Low
17b
probability and impact matrix

18a
identifies and helps prioritize
risks for quantitative analysis
and response planning

18b
Program Evaluation and
Review Technique

19a
(PERT technique) uses expected value—or
weighted average—of critical path tasks to
determine project duration by establishing
three estimates: most likely, pessimistic, and
optimistic; the formula for PERT is optimistic
+ pessimistic + (4 * most likely) / 6. PERT is
used when activity duration estimates are
highly uncertain
19b
project manager

20a
the individual charged with managing a
temporary endeavor from beginning to
end who monitors project progress and
ensures that project activities stay on
task, under budget, and finishes on time

20b
qualitative risk analysis

21a
the process of prioritizing risks
for further analysis and action;
it combines risks and their
probability of occurrences and
ranks them accordingly
21b
quantitative risk analysis

22a
has results that may be based upon
mathematical formulas, simulation
methods and statistical analysis; this
analysis type goes through the usual
process practice of generating inputs and
applying those inputs to tools and
techniques to generate project artifacts
or project document updates 22b
Rayleigh Distribution

23a
illustrates asymmetrically all
positive outcomes; outcomes
typically cluster around a
value identified to be a most
likely outcome
23b
risk

events that will negatively
impact a project's progress

24b
risk data quality assessment

25a
 evaluates the degree of
relevance and applicability risk
information gathered has to
project deliverables
25b
risk management plan

part of the overall Project Management
Plan, provides guidance, sets the tone for
risk-related activities, and informs
stakeholders and project team members;
this plan ensures the degree, type and
visibility are in line with organizational
expectations
26b
risk register

27a
the source of all identified or
known risks subject to analysis; it
contains information at the activity
level that provides a
comprehensive line-item view of
risks that pertain to an activity
27b
Risk Score or Exposure

29a
a prioritization technique
predicated on time

29b
schedule management plan

30a
used to identify risks associated
with project development,
especially predecessors and
successors, and how risk can
impact their ability to meet a
project's critical path
30b
scope baseline

31a
incorporates project assumptions into the
scope of a project; it contributes to the
development of the project Work
Breakdown Structure which, in turn, can
serve as an analytical tool to help
determine risk at the summary, control
account, and work package levels
31b
sensitivity analysis

32a
used to determine risks with the
highest potential to impact a
project, also enables the project
team to determine how variations
to project objectives correlate with
variations in different uncertainties

influence and impact in a
project's outcome; they can
either be internal or external
to an organization
33b
tornado diagram

bar chart used for comparative
analysis
34b
Triangular Distribution

35a
a statistical distribution that increases linearly
from a minimum to a maximum based upon an
arbitrary value of "X", and then decreases from
the maximum to a minimum; "A" is defined as
the minimum, "C" is defined as the peak and "B"
is defined as the maximum; the triangular
distribution provides the project team with a
probability density for each value of X
35b
work breakdown structure

36a
(WBS) gives the project manager and team the
ability to decompose project-based features
to their lowest elements that can be
monitored, managed, measured, and delivered
upon; details developed within the WBS
permit the project manager to determine the
project's critical path and schedule, and
provide a tool to develop and deliver project
metrics
