Managing Risk
Introduction
Risk management: The act or pratice of dealing with risk
Risk management focuses on: • Know nown unkn nknown owns • Proa Proact ctiv ive e mana manage geme ment nt
The alternative to proactive management is reactive management, also called crisis management. This requires significantly more resources and takes longer for problems to surface.
Risk management focuses on the future
Risk and information are inversely related 2
Introduction
Historically, we focused our attentions attention s on schedule and cost risk management. Today, our primary emphasis is on technological risk management: • Can Can we we desi design gn it and and bui build ld it? it? • What is the the ris risk k of obsol obsolesc escenc ence? e?

• Likelihood is the probability of occurrence • Impact is the amount at stake

Risk Assessment
Risk assessment: Process of identifying and anlyzing program areas and critical process risks to increase the likelihood of meeting cost, performance and schedule objectives.
Risk assessment components •
Risk identification: Process of Identifying all potential risks: cost, funding, schedule, contract relationships, technical and political risks
•
Risk anlysis: Process of examine each identified risk issue to estimate the likelihood and predict the impact on the project (Cost-Schedule-Technical Evaluation) 11
Risk Handling
Risk handling: includes specific methods and techniques to deal with known risks, identifies who is responsible for the risk issues, and provides an estimate of the cost and schedule with reducing the risk
Options for handling risk: • Risk Risk as assump sumpti tion on/r /ret eten enti tion on • Risk Risk avoi avoida danc nce e Mit Mitig igat atin ing g • Risk Risk contr ontrol ol/p /prreven eventi tion on • Risk transfer

Risk Monitoring
Risk monitoring: process of systematically tracking and evaluating the performance of risk handling actions and providing inputs to updating risk handling strategies
Some techniques suitable for risk monitoring: •
Earned Value (EV)
•
Program me metrics
