Q

Business risks

A

These risks may have negative or positive outcomes.

Examples include using a less experienced worker to complete a task, allowing phases to overlap, forging the expense of formal training for on-the-job education.

Q

Delphi technique

A

An anonymous method of querying experts about foreseeable risks within a project, phase, or component of a project.

Results of the survey are analyzed by a third party then circulated to experts. Several rounds of anonymous discussion with the technique, wihtout fear of backlash or offending other participants i nthe process.

Goal is to gain consesnsus on project risks within the prkject

Q

Monte carlo technique

A

Simulation technique used to simulate all outcomes based on variables inputted.

22
Q

Ordinal scales

A

Ranking approach that ranks outcomes from very low to very high

23
Q

Organizational risks

A

Performing organization can contribute to the projects risks through unreasonable cost, time, and scope expectations; poor project prioritization; inadequuate funding or the disruption of funding; and ocmpletion wiht other projects for internal resources.

24
Q

PESTLE

A

A prompt list used for risk identification.

Examines risks in the:
Political
Economical
Social
Technological
Legal
Environmental 
....domains.
25
Probability and impact matrix
Matrix that ranks the probability of r risk event occuring and its impact on the project if the event does happen; used in qual and quant analysis
26
Project management risks
Risk deal with faults in the mgmt of the project: ..bad allocation of time, resources, scheduling. etc.
27
Pure risks
Only a negative outcome
28
Qualitative risk analysis
"qualifies" the risks that have been identified in the project. Examines and prioritizes based on probabilityximpact if occurs (no numbers)
29
Quantitative risk analysis
Numerically assess the probability and impact of the identified risks. Also creates an overall risk score for the project. Method is more in depth than qualitative risk analysis and relies on several tools
30
RAG rating
Red amber green
31
Residual risks
Risks that are expected to remain after a risk response.
32
Risk
An uncertain event or condition that can have a positive or negative impact on the project
33
Risk identification
Systematic process of combing through the project, the project plan, the work breakdown structure, and all supporting documentation to identify as many risks that may affect the project as possible.
34
Risk management plan
PM subsidiary plan that defines how risks will be identified, analyzed, responded to, and monitored within project. Also defined iterative risk management process that the project is expected to adhere to
35
Risk management planning
Agreed-upon approach to the management of the project risk processes
36
Risk owners
Individual/entity that are responsible for monitoring and responding to an identified risk wihtin the project
37
Risk register
The risk register is a project plan component that contains all of the information related to the risk management activities. It's updated as risk management activities are conducted to reflect the status, progrss, and nature of the project risks.
38
Risk report
Explains the overall project risks and provides summaries about the individual project risks
39
Risk response audit
An audit to test the validity of the established risk responses
40
Risk responsiblities
The level of ownership an individual or entity has over a project risk
41
Risk score
The calculated score based on each risk's probabvility and impact. The approach can be used in both qualitative and quantitative risk analysis
42
Root cuase identification
Root cause identification aims to find out why a risk event may be occurring, the causal factors for the risk events, and then, eventually, how the events can be mitigated or eliminated.
43
Secondary risks
New risks that are created as a result of a risk response
44
Sensitivity analysis
A quantitative risk analysis tool that examines each risk to determine which one has the largest impact on the project's success
45
Sharing
A risk response that shares the advantages of a positive risk wihtin a project
46
SWOT analysis
Examining the project from the perspective of each characterstic: strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats
47
TECOP
A prompt list used in risk identification to examine the Technical, Environmental, Commercial, Operational, and political factors of the project
48
Technical, quality, or performance Risks
Technical risks are associated with new, unproven, or complex technologies being used on the project. Changes to the technology during the project implementation can also be a risk. Quality risks are the levels set for expectations of impractical quality and performnace
49
Transference
Risk reponse that transfers ownership to another party. Insurance, licenced contractors, etc are good examples. Fee/contract is typically involved with the reansference of a risk
50
Variability risks
Example of a non-event risks. Uncertainty exists about some key characteristics of a planned event, activity, or decision. e.g. productivity could be higher or lower than expected, weather event during construction?
51
VUCA
``` A prompt list used in risk identification that examines the: Volatility Uncertainty Complexity Ambiguity ..of risk factors wihtin the project ```
