14.2   Definitions


         Term          Definition
         Risk          Risk is an uncertain event or condition, that if occurs,
                       has a positive or negative effect on project objective,
                       such as cost, time, scope, or quality. A risk has a
                       cause and, if it occurs, a consequence.

         Stakeholder   Project Stakeholders are individuals and organizations
                       that are actively involved in the project, or whose
                       interests may be positively or negatively affected as a
                       project execution or project completion.

 17 Qualitative Risk Analysis


Qualitative Risk Analysis is the process of assessing the impact and likelihood of identified Risks. Based on this
analysis, the prioritized risks shall be identified and further analyzed and managed.

Risk Probability and Impact Assessment: investigates the likelihood that each risk will occur. Risk impact
assessment investigates the potential effect on a project objective such as time, cost, scope, or quality, including
both negative effects for threats and positive effects for opportunities.
The analysis is done in terms of Risk probability and Risk consequences. Risk probability is the likelihood that Risk
will occur. Risk consequence is the effect on project objectives if the risk event occurs. Both the parameters are
described in three qualitative levels, which are Low, Medium and High.
                                                                                                               Page | 26

The Probability –Impact (PI) value is the multiplication of Probability and Impact. Its value is calculated with the
following equation.

                              Risk Probability (P)   Risk Impact (I)       PI Value

 18 Quantitative Risk Analysis
The quantitative Risk Analysis process aims to analyze numerically the probability of each risk and its consequence
on project objectives. The Risk Probabilities are measured on a scale of 1 to 1.0 and these values correspond to
10% probability of Risk happening to 100%. The impact of the Risk is captured also on a scale of 1 to 10.




                                                                                                            Page | 28
Risk Management Plan



The PI value is multiplication of these values and all Risks who have a PI value of less than four are not considered
for Risk response planning. However, these calculations shall be periodically reviewed by the PMO.

 19 Risk Response Planning


Risk response planning is the process of developing options and determining actions to enhance opportunities and
reduce threats to the project objectives. It includes the identification and assignment of one or more persons (risk
response owner) to take responsibility for each agreed to risk response.

One of the following four approaches shall be used to respond to the Risk.

   o   Avoidance: Risk Avoidance is changing the Project Plan to eliminate the Risk or to protect the Project
       objectives from its impact.


   o   Transference: Risk Transference is to shift the consequence of the Risk to a third party together with
       ownership of the response.


   o   Mitigation: Risk Mitigation is to reduce the probability or consequence of an adverse Risk event to an
       acceptable threshold.


   o   Acceptance: Risk Acceptance is to accept the risk as it is and have a contingency plan in case it occurs.

 20 Risk Monitoring & Control
Risk monitoring and control is the process of keeping track of the identified Risks, identifying new Risks, ensuring
the execution of the risk response plan and evaluating their effectiveness in reducing Risks. Risk monitoring &
control shall be done throughout the project lifecycle.

Recommended Corrective Actions: include Contingency plans and Workaround Plans. The latter are responses
that were not initially planned, but are required to deal with emerging risks that were previously unidentified or
accepted passively.

Recommended Preventive Actions: These are used to bring the project into compliance with the project
management plan.

    Risk Management Plan 10 Purpose The purpose of this Risk Management Plan is to identify the risks in the project, analyze the impact of these risks and propose steps to manage them. The objectives of Project Risk Management are to increase the probability and impact of positive events, and decrease the probability of events adverse to the project. 11 Scope This document primarily concerns itself with Risks & Mitigation Plan relating to the XXX Project. Risk Management includes processes concerned with conducting risk management planning, identification, analysis, responses, and monitoring and control on a project. The scope of the document is limited to: o Risk Identification o Risk List o Qualitative Risk Analysis o Quantitative Risk Analysis o Risk Response Planning, and o Risk Monitoring & Control 12 Audience The intended audience of this document is: o Page | 22

    Risk Management Plan 14.2 Definitions Term Definition Risk Risk is an uncertain event or condition, that if occurs, has a positive or negative effect on project objective, such as cost, time, scope, or quality. A risk has a cause and, if it occurs, a consequence. Stakeholder Project Stakeholders are individuals and organizations that are actively involved in the project, or whose interests may be positively or negatively affected as a project execution or project completion.

    Risk Management Plan 15 Risk Identification Risk identification involves determining which risks might affect the project and documenting their characteristics. It is an iterative process. Risks are identified throughout the project life cycle. Following Risk Identification process shall be followed in XXX project. 16 Risk List This section lists all identified Risks in the XXX Project. This is the list of Risks as of now and subject to change as the project progresses. Project Manager shall be responsible to continuously update the risk list.

    Risk Management Plan R 005 R 006 R 007 R 008 R 009 R 010 17 Qualitative Risk Analysis Qualitative Risk Analysis is the process of assessing the impact and likelihood of identified Risks. Based on this analysis, the prioritized risks shall be identified and further analyzed and managed. Risk Probability and Impact Assessment: investigates the likelihood that each risk will occur. Risk impact assessment investigates the potential effect on a project objective such as time, cost, scope, or quality, including both negative effects for threats and positive effects for opportunities. The analysis is done in terms of Risk probability and Risk consequences. Risk probability is the likelihood that Risk will occur. Risk consequence is the effect on project objectives if the risk event occurs. Both the parameters are described in three qualitative levels, which are Low, Medium and High. Page | 26

The Risk Probabilities are measured on a scale of 1 to 1.0 and these values correspond to 10% probability of Risk happening to 100%. The impact of the Risk is captured also on a scale of 1 to 10.

    Risk Management Plan ThePI value is multiplication of these values and all Risks who have a PI value of less than four are not considered for Risk response planning. However, these calculations shall be periodically reviewed by the PMO. Risk Risk Description Risk Risk PI Value No Probability Impact (I) (P) R 001 R 002 R 003 R 004 R 005 R 007 Page | 29

    Risk Management Plan 19 Risk Response Planning Risk response planning is the process of developing options and determining actions to enhance opportunities and reduce threats to the project objectives. It includes the identification and assignment of one or more persons (risk response owner) to take responsibility for each agreed to risk response. One of the following four approaches shall be used to respond to the Risk. o Avoidance: Risk Avoidance is changing the Project Plan to eliminate the Risk or to protect the Project objectives from its impact. o Transference: Risk Transference is to shift the consequence of the Risk to a third party together with ownership of the response. o Mitigation: Risk Mitigation is to reduce the probability or consequence of an adverse Risk event to an acceptable threshold. o Acceptance: Risk Acceptance is to accept the risk as it is and have a contingency plan in case it occurs.

    Risk Management Plan 20 Risk Monitoring & Control Risk monitoring and control is the process of keeping track of the identified Risks, identifying new Risks, ensuring the execution of the risk response plan and evaluating their effectiveness in reducing Risks. Risk monitoring & control shall be done throughout the project lifecycle. Recommended Corrective Actions: include Contingency plans and Workaround Plans. The latter are responses that were not initially planned, but are required to deal with emerging risks that were previously unidentified or accepted passively. Recommended Preventive Actions: These are used to bring the project into compliance with the project management plan.
