developing responses, and tracking risk. These activities
may be difficult to track without tools , techniques and
documentation

1- Brainstorming
An idea- generating technique used by teams to
generate many ideas in a short period of time.
Ideas are solicited in non- judgmental manner from all
team members .
4
Types of Brainstorming

5- Risk Data Quality Assessment
It is used to collect all the information about the
identified risks and find details about them so that you
have a better understanding of the accuracy, reliability,
quality of the data.
By analyzing and examining these parameters, you can
come up with an accurate assessment of the risks that
you face.

6- Variance and Trend Analysis
Variance analysis is a quantitative review of the
differences between what we thought would happen
versus what actually happened.
While trend analysis is a quantitative review of what
happens over a period of time. In most cases, variance
and trends go hand in hand and are reported at the
same time for the same metrics

7- Reserve Analysis
reserve analysis is the process of estimating the amount
of money that should be set aside to cover unexpected
costs. This can be done by looking at past projects and
estimating how much money was spent on unforeseen
expenses.
20
Example
From the following information calculate the amount to
be transferred in contingency:
Project Period 12 Months
Risk of Contingency: 30%
Cost of Project: $290,00
Amount of Reserve to be Created = Cost of Project *
Risk of Contingency
21
Example
This $87,000 to be transferred in the separate bank
account
The monthly amount to be Transferred = Yearly Amount
Number of Months
