RISK MANAGEMENT

Risk Management
– A proactive attempt to recognize and
manage internal events and external threats
that affect the likelihood of a project’s
success

Risk Management
• 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)

The Risk Event Graph

Risk Management’s Benefits
• A proactive rather than reactive
approach.
• Reduces surprises and negative
consequences.
• Provides better control over the future.
• Improves chances of reaching project
performance objectives within budget
and on time.

Risk Management Limitations
Lack of Expertise and Awareness.
Difficult to Apply.
Unable to Effectively Deal with Human Factors (Qualitative
Elements).

RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS

The Risk Management Process

Managing Risk
Step 1: Risk Identification
– Generate a list of possible risks
through brainstorming, problem
identification and risk profiling.
• Macro risks first, then specific
events

Managing Risk
Step 2: Risk Assessment
– Scenario analysis
– Risk assessment matrix
– Failure Mode and Effects Analysis
(FMEA)
– Probability analysis
• Decision trees, NPV, and PERT
– Semi quantitative scenario analysis

Step 3: Risk Response Development
– Mitigating Risk
• Reducing the likelihood an adverse
event will occur
– Transferring Risk
• Paying a premium to pass the risk to
another party
– Avoiding Risk
• Changing the project plan to
eliminate the risk or condition
– Sharing Risk
• Allocating risk to different parties
– Retaining Risk
• Making a conscious decision to
accept the risk
Managing Risk

CONTINGENCY PLANNING

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 Response Matrix

Risk and Contingency Planning
1. Technical Risks
– Backup strategies if chosen
technology fails
– Assessing whether technical
uncertainties can be resolved
2. 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

3. Costs Risks
– Time/cost dependency links: costs
increase when problems take longer to
solve than expected.
– Deciding to use the schedule to solve
cash flow problems should be avoided.
– Price protection risks (a rise in input
costs) increase if the duration of a
project is increased.

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

• 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

Managing Risk
Step 4: Risk Response Control
– Risk control
• Execution of the risk response
strategy
• Initiating contingency plans
• Watching for new risks
– Establishing a Change Management
System
• Monitoring, tracking, and reporting
risk
• Repeating risk
identification/assessment exercises

Change Management Control
Sources of Change
– Project scope changes.
– Implementation of contingency plans.
– Improvement changes.
