Guidelines for Successful Risk Facilitating and Analysis

摘要

This article presents guidelines for risk facilitating and risk analysis of cost estimates. These guidelines are based on the successes and lessons-learned from one company's approach to risk-weighted cost estimates. Key issues relating to the identification and quantification of risks are addressed. In particular, the role of the risk facilitator in developing the cost-influence matrix is discussed; emphasis is on the subtleties involved in overcoming some of the statistical issues, and issues such as the correlation among influence factors and the development of appropriate risk analysis models are discussed. A step-by-step approach through the various phases of the risk analysis process is presented.
