Risk Management Planning Tools and Technique 1. Planning meeting and analysis : Planning meeting are the only tools for risk management planning. Project teams conduct planning meeting to develop the risk management. Generally , the project manager , project team leaders , and any one in the organization with responsibility to manage risk planning and execute activities will attend risk management planning meetings. Basic plans for conducting the risk management activities are defined in these meetings. Risk cost elements and schedule activities will be developed for inclusion in the project budget and schedule, respectively. Risk responsibilities will be assigned. General organizational templates for risk categories and definitions of terms such as levels of risk, probability by type of risk, impact by type of objectives, and the probability and impact matrix will be tailored to the specific project. The outputs of these activities will be summarized in the risk management Akram Al-Najjar, PMP. Source: pmbok guide 2004

Risk probability and impact : Risks and their probabilities are defined for use in Qualitative risk analysis using a scale of “ very unlikely “ to “ almost certain” Alternatively, assigned numerical probabilities on a general scale (e.g., 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9) can be used.
n
Probability and impact matrix : Risks are prioritized according to their potential implications for meeting the project’s objectives. The typical approach to prioritizing risks is to use a look-up table or a Probability and Impact Matrix

Risk A risk is an uncertain event that either a positive or negative effect on the project. Its primary components are a measure of probability that a risk occur and the impact of the risk on a project. Some common ways to classify risk are business risk versus insurable risk , effect-based classification , source base classification , and level of uncertainty. Risk may also be classified by much is known about them, such as known , known – unknown , and unknown - unknown Akram Al-Najjar, PMP. Source: pmbok guide 2004

Example Due to its relative unpredictability , the weather is a risk com mon to business. For example , an organization planning an outdoor festival will likely choose a location and day with highest probability for agreeable weather. In this scenario , the threat of rain is a risk that could seriously impact attendance and profits. Because the weather is known to be possible risk , but its impact is yet unknown , this risk would be classified as Known - Unknown

Risk vs. insurable Risk When a company opens it doors, it assumes that it will make money as well as spend money. This type of risk is called business risk, when undertaking a new project, an organization takes a business risk based on the assumption that the project has a potential for both profit and loss. Insurable risk: focuses on the potential for loss. Companies often purchase insurance to offset these risks. Direct property risk : Risk of property damage due to weather, fire and so on Indirect property risk: Risk of additional expenditures needed to recover from property loss. Liability risk : Risk of needing to make good after causing damage to another Personnel-related risk : Liability risk for damage to employees. Akram Al-Najjar, PMP. Source: pmbok guide 2004

Risks Classifications Effect Based risk classification: addresses risk in term of what it might affect. On a project, the major issues that can be effected are time ,cost ,quality and scope. All these risks are interrelated such that changes to one will affect of the others. You need to be sensitive to these relationship and how changing one can cause problems in another. Source Based risk classification: addresses risk in terms of where it originates Source may be internal or external to project, as well as technical , nontechnical , industry-specific , or generic.

Risks Classifications Levels of uncertainty : address risks classified based on how much is known about them Known : Items that you are aware of and that will affect you, but you have no control over. Known-unknown : Items that will affect you, although you are not able to predict how or how much they will affect you. Unknown-unknown : Items beyond your ability to foresee.

Risks Tolerance Risk tolerance address the level of risk a project manager or key stakeholder is willing to take when money at stake is compared to the potential payoff. It’s measured in terms of the amount of satisfaction or pleasure the individual receives from payoff. Risk tolerance can be classified as risk-averter , risk-seeker , and risk-neutral Risk averter : Not likely to take a risk that is considered a high risk Risk seeker : Prefers an uncertain outcome and may be willing to pay a penalty to take a high risk. Risk neutral : Tolerance to risk is proportional to the amount of money at stake Akram Al-Najjar, PMP. Source: pmbok guide 2004

Decision – Making and Categories Decision making encompasses three elements : Certainty : Completely sure of the states of nature to be faced and their respective payoffs. Risk : known states of nature and their respective payoff, but probability must be assigned to the occurrence of each state of nature Uncertainty : Each state of nature must be estimated and payoffs may be unknown.

How to Create a Risk Management Plan Guidelines : •Describe the approaches , tools , and data sources that may be used to perform risk management activities for the project. -How will the risk be identified? Will you conduct brainstorming sessions? Will you use the Delphi technique? Will you use subject matter expert? -How will the identification risks be scored and analyzed so that effective response strategies can be developed ? Is there organization policy mandating a specific scoring and prioritization method? -Determine and describe the schedule for performing risk management activities. -Determine and describe how your team will document risk response efforts. - What tools will your team use to store risk information and track responses? - How will the risk response efforts be communicated to the project stakeholders? -Determine and describe how the lessons learned from your risk management activities will be documented for the benefit of future projects. -If an organization, sponsor , or customer has specific guidelines or requirements regarding risk thresholds , this information should be included in your risk management plan.

Example:
n
The risk management team for a project identified and analyzed 30 risks for the project. The total of the risk factor scores for those 30 risk was 75. The project manager divided the number by the number of ris k to determine that the overall risk ranking for the project was 2.5 (75/30=2.5.) Akram Al-Najjar, PMP. Source: pmbok guide 2004

It is a method of assessing the relative impact of changing a variable in a project to gain insight of the possible outcome of one or more potential courses of action, Sensitivity analysis places a value on the effect of changing a SINGLE VARIABLE within a project by analyzing the effect on the project plan.
1.
Begin with your original time or cost estimate.
2.
Break out the components of the estimate into manageable chunks.
3.
Determine the variable to investigate and identify its likely range of variation.

Risk response planning is the process of examining
each risk and corresponding response alternatives , determining which response will improve the likelihood of a positive outcome. First , you review the risk management plan and risk register , which were updated with previous risk management planning outputs. Then , you employ an appropriate technique for each risk , either avoidance , transference , mitigation , acceptance or exploitation . Finally , you enter any alternation into the risk register , risk response plan or the necessary project documentation. Akram Al-Najjar, PMP. Source: pmbok guide 2004

Risk Response planning Tools and Technique
1. 2.
Strategies for negative risk or threats Risk Avoidance : it is involves changing the project plan to prevent a potentially detrimental risk condition or event from happening. One way to eliminate a risk is to reduce or change the scope of the project in an attempt to avoid high risk activities. The scope change could involve the requirements or specifications , or it can mean changing the approach to meeting the requirements or specifications.
Example : The product description for an elementary social sciences
education multimedia program references stock video clips of children riding bikes and roller skating without helmets or knee pads. During risk identification , the project team reviewed the product description and identified a potential risk of school administration not buying the program because it appears to advocate unsafe activities. Viewing this as a high risk , the team avoided this risk by changing the project scope so that it did not include the videos. Akram Al-Najjar, PMP. Source: pmbok guide 2004

Strategies for negative risk or threats 2.
Risk transference : is involves shifting the impact of a risk event and ownership of the risk response to a third party. This strategy typically is used in connection with financial risk exposure and most often involves payment of a risk premium to the party assuming the risk.
Example: Risk sharing is a form of risk transference in which only a portion of the risk is transferred to another party. For instance , organization often transfer responsibility for the risk of an employee getting injured on the job by paying a premium for worker’s compensation insurance. The insurance company assumes liability of the risk and is responsible for covering the injured worker’s medical bills and / or partial wages depending on the circumstances. Because the initial organization has transferred part of the financial liability to the insurance company and they now share the risk. This would be an example of both risk sharing and risk transference. Akram Al-Najjar, PMP. Source: pmbok guide 2004

Strategies for negative risk or threats 3.
Risk mitigation: Is attempts to reduce the probability or impact of a potential risk event to an acceptable level. Mitigation may involve implementing a new courses of action in an effort to reduce the problem or changing the current conditions so that the probability of the risk occurring is reduced. Sometimes , when reducing the probability is not possible, the focus must be on reducing the consequences of the risk event.
Example: An example of risk mitigation is the develop of design model , or prototype, the earlier this can be done in a project, the lower the risk , Mock-ups , which are similar to prototypes, can test user interaction with system or products. The project team can make changes to the design based on early test result, thereby reducing the probability of a problem once the product is released to market.

Strategies for Positive risk or Opportunities Risk exploitation : This strategy is often used when a project team wants to make sure that a positive risk is fully realized. This is often done by hiring the best experts in a field or ensuring the most technologically advanced resources are available to the project team. Risk sharing : This strategy entails partnering up with another party in an effort to give your team the best chance of seizing the opportunity, joint ventures are common example of risk sharing. Risk enhancement : This strategy attempts to increase the probability that an opportunity will occur. This is done by focusing on trigger condition of the opportunity and trying to optimize their chances for occurrence.

Strategies for both threats and opportunities Risk Acceptance : Is any decision not to change the project plan to deal with a risk. It may be chosen for a risk that has an extremely low possibility of occurrence or for which no suitable risk response strategy is identified. Risk acceptance is performed either passively by doing nothing or actively by creating a contingency plan to deal with the risk. Example: You own a business on a hill in an area that floods relatively often. Because of your location, you decide not to buy flood insurance. Instead , you set aside money that is earmarked for the repair of water damage in case of flooding. In this case, you are employing a risk acceptance strategy by establishing a contingency reserve for an emergency . Although you aren’t ignoring the risk , you will spend money only if the risk event actually occurs. Akram Al-Najjar, PMP. Source: pmbok guide 2004

Strategies for both threats and opportunities Contingency plan : Is a strategy developed in advanced for dealing with the occurrence of identified risk. It’s performed to construct a strategy before things go wrong. With a good contingency plan in place, you can react quick and appropriately to the risk event , reducing its overall impact. A contingency plan may include a fallback plan for risks with high impact. The fallback plan is implemented if the initial contingency plan is ineffective in responding to the risk event. Contingency reserve : Usually , when risk acceptance is the selected response strategy , a contingency reserve is established to deal with unknown risks and accepted known risks. The contingency reserve may be in the form of additional time , money or resources . It covers risk events that are not accounted for in the project’s baseline duration and cost estimates. The amount of the reserve is determined by the potential impact of the risk, but should include enough to implement any contingency plans as well as a buffer for dealing with unidentified risks.
