Week 11 Risk Management

There are 5 parts to a risk management system: (1) monitoring and review, (2) establishing context, (3) risk assessment including identification, analysis, and evaluation, (4) risk treatment, and (5) communication and consultation. When identifying risks, questions about what could happen, where, when, why, how, and what could cause or else happen should be asked. Risk analysis and evaluation should define scales for consequence and likelihood and be consistent. Risk treatment includes avoiding, increasing, removing, changing likelihood or consequences of, transferring, or accepting risks. Scenario analysis involves creating a list of assumptions, questioning their validity, determining alternative pessimistic assumptions, and testing impacts.

Answer:
(1) Brainstorming (2) Reverse brainstorming (3) Design tree (4) Process tree

5. What should we notice about risk analysis and evaluation?


Answer:
(1) Need to define and be consistent on evaluation of consequence and likelihood
(2) Consider quantitative scales for: Consequence ($) and Likelihood (%)

6. What does risk treatment include?


Answer:
(1) Avoid the risk by deciding not to do an activity
(2) Take or increase the risk in order to pursue an opportunity
(3) Remove the risk source (4) Change the likelihood
(5) Change the consequences
(6) Transfer or share the risk with other parties (including contracting and risk
