Purpuse:To quantify the potential impact of risks on project objectives.
Rational:Quantitative analysis provides data-driven insights, helping to make informed decisions and plan risk responses that minimize potential negative outcomes.
Chapters Topics
Quantitative risk analysis concepts and flow of data
Quantitative Risk Analysis Concepts and Flow of Data: Quantitative risk analysis involves numerically analyzing the probability and impact of risks on project objectives. The data flow starts with inputs like the risk register and cost/schedule management plans, followed by detailed quantitative analysis, and results in outputs such as prioritized risk lists and updated project forecasts.
The importance and benefits of quantitative risk analysis
The Importance and Benefits of Quantitative Risk Analysis: Quantitative risk analysis helps to assess the financial and time-related impacts of risks with greater precision. By using numerical methods, it allows the project team to determine the extent of risk exposure and make data-driven decisions. This analysis provides insights into how risks could affect the overall project, supporting better resource allocation and contingency planning.
Quantitative risk analysis inputs (Risk management plan, Cost management plan Schedule management plan, Risk register, Entrerprise environmental factors, Organisational process assets)
Quantitative Risk Analysis Inputs: Key inputs include the Risk Management Plan, Cost Management Plan, Schedule Management Plan, Risk Register, Enterprise Environmental Factors, and Organizational Process Assets. These documents provide the necessary details to quantify risks accurately and assess their impact on project outcomes.
Quantitative risk analysis and techniques ((Data gathering and representation techniques (Interviewing, Probability distributions), Qualititative risk analysis and modeling techniques (Sensitivity analysis, Expected monetory value analysis, Modeling and simulations), Expert judgment))
Quantitative Risk Analysis Tools and Techniques: Techniques include Data Gathering and Representation Techniques (e.g., interviewing stakeholders, using probability distributions), Qualitative Risk Analysis and Modeling Techniques (such as Sensitivity Analysis, Expected Monetary Value Analysis, and Modeling & Simulations), and Expert Judgment. These techniques provide a more detailed analysis of the risks and allow the project team to model different risk scenarios.
Quantitative risk analysis outputs (Probability analysis, Probability of achieving cost and time objective, Priortised list of quantified risks, Trends in qualitative risk analysis)
Quantitative Risk Analysis Outputs: Outputs include Probability Analysis (identifying the probability of meeting project goals), the Probability of Achieving Cost and Time Objectives (evaluating project success rates), a Prioritized List of Quantified Risks (ranking risks based on their potential impact), and Trends in Qualitative Risk Analysis (providing insights into risk changes over time). These outputs support decision-making and further risk response planning.
