9Common Challenges to Effective Risk Analysis



 1.    Objectives


Learn internationally-recognized best practices for managing project risks

Assess the potential variability in project duration resulting from identified project risks

Assess how risks and opportunities may influence the project schedule

Understand which paths in the schedule have the highest probability of impacting the schedule completion or key milestones

•Understand which risks have the most impact on overall schedule variability


2.    A brief to Schedule Risk Analysis

You may have said to yourself something like:-

• “If it goes well,we will have that foundation completed in 10 days, but there is a chance the ground could be rocky and it may even take 20 days, but that is really the worst-case and is unlikely. So my best guess is 13 days”

• So in your project schedule you enter13 days against the task "Foundation". The other information (i.e. the best case estimate of 10 days and worst-case estimate of 20 days) are not entered into the project at all


• By entering only the most likely duration a lot of additional information that would be of great benefit in producing a much more realistic plan is lost


Using risk analysis allows you to easily enter extra information about the uncertainty of the duration of your tasks.


This extra information can be used to produce more accurate and realistic schedules. It can also help you manage your project more effectively by answering questions such as:

• What is the chance of finishing the project on time?

• What date can I be 90% confident of finishing by?

• What tasks are most likely to cause project delay?


3.    Risk Analysis Software

Primavera Risk Analysis uses advanced Monte Carlo-based cost and schedule analytics to provide full-lifecycle risk management through risk models: estimate uncertainty, probabilistic branching, fixed-cost

uncertainty, variable-cost uncertainty, resource uncertainty and weather modeling.


Some major customers using Primavera Risk Analysis as part of the ongoing project management process:


• ExxonMobil, Petronas, ARAMCO, SABIC, TOTAL

• British Petroleum

• Shell, ONGC, Qatar Gas

• DoW Chemical

• BASF

• Santos

• Siemens,

• Worley Parsons

• Fluor, Saipem

• Technip, Techinicas Reuidas

• Bechtel, JCC, CCC

• Samsung, Hyundai, GE, SK, Doosan

• Etc….


4Influential Factors and Project Specifics

Every project has its own unique risks that need to be managed







5.    The Three Levels oRisk Assessment

Level 1: Risk Identification is the formal act of identifying risks and opportunities for a project. Typically, this includes the use of a risk checklist and/or the start of a project risk register

 Level 2: Deterministic Risk Analysis is the act of analyzing risks through a single-point estimate of potential impacts. Typically, this involves a probability x impact matrix and a prioritized lists of risks

 Level 3: Probabilistic Risk Analysis is the act of analyzing risk through probability distribution estimates of potential impact, known as Monte Carlo simulations. Typically, this approach involves the determination of the probability of meeting project targets

7.  Minimum Conditions of Satisfaction


There are certain conditions required before starting the Schedule

Risk Analysis:  Scope of work, execution plan, cost estimate, and schedule consistent with each other

 A quality schedule : that includes activities for all project scope; has realistic durations for activities; has logic links that reflect the sequence of work and the dependencies between activities, and realistic critical and near-critical paths

 A team-approved schedule :  A risk register with a comprehensive list of all identified project-specific risks, an understanding of the likely impact of each of those risks, and risk response actions for each risk



Logic Tie Considerations

• How duration variability in B any sequence passes from one activity to another depends on the logic ties that are used to connect these two activities.

• The types of logic ties used in the schedule risk model will have a significant impact on the results of the risk model in a Monte Carlo simulation


• The triangles included in the figures represent the duration variability of the activity



8.  Schedule Risk Modeling (Case Study)



• What is the project context?


• What is the chance of finishing the project on time?


• What chance do we have of finishing the project in Q4 2021?

• What are the major risks delaying the project?


• What will be the finish date after risk mitigations?



9.  Common Challenges to Effective Risk Analysis


• Dangers of double-counting risks

• Danger of missing important risks

• Danger of ignoring secondary risks

• Danger of using deficient schedule

• Disconnection between risk rating scales and project objectives

• Inclusion or not of rare (catastrophic) events

• Too many different risk assessments are performed across the organization

• The amount of information and data gathered is difficult to interpret and use.
