Risk Management Process

Risk

Uncertain or chance events that planning cannot overcome or control

Risk Management

An attempt to recognize and manage potential and unforeseen trouble spots that may occur when the project is implemented

What can go wrong (risk event)

How to minimize the risk event’s impact (consequences)

What can be done before an event occurs (anticipation)

What to do when an event occurs (contingency plans)

Risk Management’s Benefits

A proactive rather than reactive approach

Reduces surprises and negative consequences

Prepares the project manager to take advantage of appropriate risks

Provides better control over the future

Improves chances of reaching project performance objectives within budget and on time

Managing Risk

Step 1: Risk Identification

Generate a list of possible risks through brainstorming, problem identification and risk profiling

Use risk breakdown structure (RBS) in conjunction with work breakdown structure (WBS) to identify and analyze risks

Macro risks first, then specific events

Risk profile is a list of questions addressing additional areas of uncertainty on a project.

Step 3: Risk Response Development

Mitigating Risk

Reducing the likelihood an adverse event will occur

Reducing the impact of an adverse event

Avoiding Risk

Changing the project plan to eliminate the risk or condition

Transferring Risk

Paying a premium to pass the risk to another party

7–17

Contingency Planning

Contingency Plan

An alternative plan that will be used if a possible foreseen risk event actually occurs

A plan of actions that will reduce or mitigate the negative impact (consequences) of a risk event

Risks of Not Having a Contingency Plan

Having no plan may slow managerial response

Decisions made under pressure can be potentially dangerous and costly

Risk and Contingency Planning

Technical Risks

Backup strategies if chosen technology fails

Assessing whether technical uncertainties can be resolved

Schedule Risks

Use of slack increases the risk of a late project finish

Imposed duration dates (absolute project finish date)

Compression of project schedules due to a shortened project duration date

Risk and Contingency Planning (cont’d)

Cost Risks

Time/cost dependency links: costs increase when problems take longer to solve than expected.

Price protection risks (a rise in input costs) increase if the duration of a project is increased.

Funding Risks

Changes in the supply of funds for the project can dramatically affect the likelihood of implementation or successful completion of a project.

Opportunity Management

Exploit

Seeking to eliminate the uncertainty associated with an opportunity to ensure that it definitely happens

Share

Allocating some or all of the ownership of an opportunity to another party who is best able to capture the opportunity for the benefit of the project

Enhance

Taking action to increase the probability and/or the positive impact of an opportunity

Accept

Being willing to take advantage of an opportunity if it occurs, but not taking action to pursue it

Contingency Funding and Time Buffers

Contingency Funds

Funds to cover project risks—identified and unknown

Size of funds reflects overall risk of a project.

Budget reserves

Are linked to the identified risks of specific work packages.

Management reserves

Are large funds to be used to cover major unforeseen risks (e.g., change in project scope) of the total project.

Time Buffers

Amounts of time used to compensate for unplanned delays in the project schedule

Severe risk, merge, noncritical, and scarce resource activities

27

7–28

Benefits of a Change Control System

Inconsequential changes are discouraged by the formal process.

Costs of changes are maintained in a log.

Integrity of the WBS and performance measures is maintained.

Allocation and use of budget and management reserve funds are tracked.

Responsibility for implementation is clarified.

Effect of changes is visible to all parties involved.

Implementation of change is monitored.

Scope changes will be quickly reflected in baseline and performance measures.

PERT—Program Evaluation Review Technique

Assumes each activity duration has a range that statistically follows a beta distribution.

Uses three time estimates for each activity: optimistic, pessimistic, and a weighted average to represent activity durations.

Knowing the weighted average and variances for each activity allows the project planner to compute the probability of meeting different project durations.

7–36

Activity Time Calculations (cont’d)

The variability in the activity time estimates is approximated by the following equations:

The standard deviation for the activity:

The standard deviation for the project:

Note the standard deviation of the activity is squared in this equation; this is also called variance. This sum includes only activities on the critical path(s) or path being reviewed.

Probability of Completing the Project

The equation below is used to compute the “Z” value found in statistical tables (Z = number of standard deviations from the mean), which, in turn, tells the probability of completing the project in the time specified.
