Project Risk Management
Learning's
1. Develop better understanding of Project Risk Management
What is a risk? The difference between risks & issues? The positive and negative risk concepts
2. Identify, analyze and prioritize risks and develop risk
responses
for their projects, programs and portfolios
3. Develop a graph/chart-based communication strategy
to clearly and quickly communicate the project status at various points in time to stakeholders

Project Risk Management
How does it impact you?
If you are the Project Manager…
It makes YOU powerful !
You may know this …

Covey’s habit #1 – Be Proactive
Being Reactive
Project Risk Management
What does the research say?
•
Research of failed software projects showed that “their
problems could have been avoided or strongly reduced
if there had been an explicit early concern with
identifying and resolving their high-risk elements.
•
Effective risk management is the most important
management tool a project manager can employ to
increase the likelihood of project success.
•
Since risk management is not widely used and
understood, this could be a significant competitive
advantage to those that implement the risk
management processes in their projects.
Risk Management makes YOU powerful !

Summary
•
Risk is an uncertain event, that if occurs, may impact
project objectives in positive or negative manner.
•
It is extremely important to manage project risks – to
reduce uncertainty
•

Risk Description
Event Date
1 Performance issues due to redesign of batch (splitting into 4 concurrent jobs) are not handled before Sep-10
the cycle testing begins in September
2 Server performance issues are not handled before the cycle testing begins in September
Sep-10
3 Unanticipated table changes occur after the coding has been completed in August
Aug-10
4 The testing environment chosen could interfere with other high priority projects
Sep-10
5 Priority to implement non-rating mod may go up due to NJ coming up right after IOWA.
Aug-10
6 Impact Analysis brings up something that we are not thinking of now (on both mainframe and PARIS Jun-10
sides), that may result in pushing the project dates
7 Coding may take longer than expected
Jul-10
8 Finding too many differences between SBR and Mainframe rating of a policy during Integration
Aug-10
Testing may longer to complete, pushing the dates for cycle testing and the project.
9 Daily business functions could be interrupted for Production Problems - taking the resources away Anytime
from this project Ex: HSM, GA Home/ROP, Claims Splitting, RCT Changes
10 Other new product (MA Auto, NJ Auto, Company8, Chrome Expansion) - Taking resources away from Anytime
this project
11 System upgrades (Rating Engine 4.0, end of VB6…) may be pushed on us right in the middle of this Jun-10
project
Generic risks are actually issues, they normally need a different action plan

Quantitative Analysis Techniques
Sensitivity Analysis
• Determines which risks have the most
potential impact on the project
• What-if scenarios
• Utilizes the tornado diagram
Expected Monetary
Value (EMV) Analysis
EMV=Impact*Probability
• Calculates the average outcome of uncertain
scenarios
• Positive values = opportunities
• Negative values = threats
Modeling and Simulation
• Translates uncertainties into potential impact on
project outcomes such as schedule
• Uncertainties are specified at a detailed level of the
project
• Typically performed using the Monte Carlo techniques
