INTRODUCTION
• Risk identification is the process of listing potential project risks
and their characteristics. The results of risk identification are
normally documented in a risk register, which includes a list of
identified risks along with their sources, potential risk responses,
and risk categories.
• Often root cause analysis is used after a problem has already come
up.
•This is where the likelihood of negative risk will raise its head, while
• The top of the square has strengths to the left and weaknesses to
the right.
• List of Risks
• Basically, what a risk register does is identify and describe the list.
• The top is the impact, going from trivial on the left to extreme on
the right. The individual boxes then are colored, so that the top left
corner is green for low risk.
• The middle, rising from the bottom left corner to the top right
corner is yellow for medium risk. The bottom right corner is red for
high risk.
• This provides a road toward reaching a priority list that gives project
managers the head’s up as to when to act and when they can keep a
risk on the backburner of a project.
Risk Assessment Template for IT
• While this tool was developed for IT projects, it can be
expanded to speak to any project.
• What a IT risk assessment template offers is a numbered
listing of the risks, to keep them in order, and then ensure
that risk exist in the controllable environment.
• It basically provides a space in which to collect the risks of
find the precision of the data that must be analysed for completing
the qualitative analysis of risks.
• For each risk, in Risk Data Quality Assessment, the Risk manager
needs to determine:
• Data available
occurs
a risk include:
• Interviewing
• Delphi technique
• Historical Records
• Expert judgment
• Decision tree
Expected Monetary Value Analysis
•Expected Monetary Value is a good measure to
determine the overall ranking of risks. The
formula is:
•EMV = P X I
•P = Probability
•I = Impact
Monte Carlo Analysis (SIMULATION Technique)
• The Monte Carlo analysis simulates the cost or schedule
results of the project. The primary inputs for this analysis
are the network diagram and estimates to perform the
project
• A Monte Carlo analysis:
