Implementing the Risk Process Plan Risk Management

Implementing the Risk Process Plan Risk Management Aim: to decide about the level of effort that will be dedicated to the Risk Management process and about how this process is to be implemented How to decide about the level of effort? Depends on the following main factors: Size and complexity of the project Uncertainty associated with the project Importance and value of the project to the organization Benchmarking metrics can help (example): Project Management may consume between 5% to 20% of the project budget Risk Management may consume between 10% to 20% of the project management budget Risk Management may be budgeted between 0,5% to about 5% of the project budget It is essential To specify the Scope of the Risk Management Process To consider an explicit Budget for the Risk Management Process as part of the overall project budget

Plan Risk Management Risk Classification What is risk classification? Practical experience shows that risks which generally occur in projects have characteristics that allow us to group them into categories Why classifying risks? Grouping risks into categories makes it easier to understand their causes and impacts, and therefore makes it easier for us to manage them How to classify risks? There is no universal classification system. Risks can (and should) be classified under various different criteria, specially by cause.

Plan Risk Management Risk classification The PMBOK Guide considers four generic main risk categories: Technical, quality or performance directly related to the product and its development process (e.g. material demand) Project management directly related to project management decisions and actions (e.g. poor planning increasing exposure) Organizational directly related to issues that have to do with the organization implementing the project (e.g. negative community relations) External caused by forces totally external to the project (e.g. Socio economic forces) Risk Classification should be based on a Risk Breakdown Structure (RBS) which provides a top-down decomposition of the relevant risk types for a project

Plan Risk Management Risk classification: example of a RBS

Exercise No. 1: Development of a Risk Breakdown Structure Purpose: to develop a RBS tailored to your specific business and organization environment Guidelines: Use the first level of the RBS presented in the PMBOK Guide Consider the second level of the PMBOK Guide just as an example The criteria to breakdown should oriented towards the cause and/or source of the risks Consider a single criteria for each level of breakdown (e.g. organizational unit) Each level must provide a more detailed and complete definition of the level above

Identify Risks Key Elements

Identify Risks Key Elements Input: Risk Breakdown Structure Tools & Techniques: Information Gathering: Root Cause Identification Use of Meta Language Delphi Technique Nominal Group Technique Diagramming Techniques: Influence Diagrams Output: Risk Register

Identify Risks Meta-Language (Root Cause Identification) Aim: to allow for risks to be identified with more accuracy from informal language Potential problems are described in informal language Problems are re-written using a defined meta-language that distils: Cause (what leads to uncertainty) Risk (the uncertain event) Effect (impacts on the project objectives) Example: Because < fact >, <event> may happen and the consequences are <impacts> < fact > cause. It is not uncertain. E.g.: Cables must lay open for inspection. <event> risk. It is uncertain. (Possible) Will be stolen at night. <impacts> effect. It is certain if the risk happens. E.g. a 3 month delay.

Identify Risks Delphi Method & Nominal Group Technique Aim: to allow for the effective use of expert judgement for risk identification and risk legitimisation through effective consensus building Barriers to use of expert judgement in Identify Risks: Formal power Personality Personal interactions and relationships The Delphi Method Panel of experts is completely anonymous Identify Risks and debate is completely anonymous Consensus is based on continuous feedback and review of risks Time-consuming The Nominal Group Technique Panel of experts is not anonymous The process of proposing risks and voting for its relevance is anonymous Debate on the relevance of the risks is not anonymous Less time-consuming

Identify Risks The Risk Register The structure of a Risk Register can be developed as complex and sophisticated, as necessary for the project

Identify Risks The Risk Register Identifier must be a unique key Description concise and focused on the uncertainty Probability of occurrence qualitative index or quantitative (%) Impact it can be split into the four objectives (cost, time, scope and quality). Can be defined qualitatively or quantitatively (typically $) Importance based on an index combining probability and impact. Can be defined qualitatively or quantitatively (typically $) Rank position in the list according to its importance Owner person responsible for managing the risk Responses description, triggers and current status

Exercise No. 2: Identify Risks and Development of Risk Register Purpose: to develop in MS Excel an appropriate Risk Register structure and identify a number of risks based on meta-language Guidelines: Use the Excel template provided Use the Meta-Language table to identify 5-10 risks Fill-in the following fields: Date, Proposed by, Description (informal) Consider the informal description and fill-in: Cause Event Impact: scope, quality, cost and schedule Review the risks to identify: Redundancy: risks that are the same Risks with common cause Copy the Event description from the Meta-Language table into the Risk Register table in the Risk Description field

Perform Quantitative Risk Analysis Sensitivity Analysis Aim: to evaluate how sensitive the project outcome is against a variation in a single factor and to identify scenarios of high threat and high opportunity A quantitative model is needed with the following attributes: Inputs: variables representing project conditions (e.g. available resources) Calculation process: project outcome is calculated (e.g. schedule) Outputs: project objectives to be analyzed (e.g. final schedule/cost) A range of variation for a project condition that is considered uncertain is considered and introduced in the model The outcome is represented as a function of the input project condition and the scenarios of potential threat and opportunity are identified

Exercise No. 3: Sensitivity Analysis using a CPM model Purpose: to use a project schedule model to analyse the sensitivity of a project schedule and cost to the variation in resource availability Guidelines: Use the MS Project plan provided Consider the resource availability ranges for the two resources considered in the plan For each resource: Change the resource maximum units available from lowest to high in the range Calculate the project final cost and duration using the resource leveling feature in MS Project Record the results achieved in an Excel table and build a graph relating the resource variation with the final cost and schedule Analyze the results and identify the scenarios of threat and opportunity for each resource

Perform Quantitative Risk Analysis Decision Tree Analysis Aim: to structure evaluate complex risk scenarios characterized by a sequence of decisions and uncertain events over time, in order to identify the best possible options and quantify the overall risk A tree-branch-model is developed to capture the sequence of management decisions and uncertain events over-time, based on problem analysis. The model leads to a number o possible branches that identify one possible outcome for the complex scenario The probability of the outcome of each uncertainty node is estimated The costs/schedule associated with each possible branch are estimated Based on the Expected Value, the uncertainty nodes are quantified For each decision node, the best decision is selected The final set of decisions is identified together with the overall probability, impact and Expected Value of the overall risk scenario
