Risk management
Evaluating risk: Qualitative or Quantitative?
Common Project risk measures/success criteria:
Time
Cost
Safety
Environment
Quality
Relationships
Reputation
Job satisfaction
3
Qualitative risk assessment
Based on nominal or descriptive scales for describing the likelihoods and
consequences of risks;
Prioritises risks and effort for more detailed quantitative risk analysis;
Some risks can only be treated qualitatively;
Semi- quantitative – extends qualitative analysis by allocating numerical values
to the descriptive scales.

Descriptor
Description of Frequency
Rare
May occur only in exceptional circumstances - can be assumed not to
occur during period of the project (or life of the facility)
Unlikely
Event is unlikely to occur, but it is possible during period of the project
(or life of the facility)
Possible
Medium
Event could occur during period of the project (or life of the facility)
Likely
Event likely to occur once or more during period of the project (or life
of the facility)
Almost Certain
Event occurs many times during period of the project (or life of the
facility)

Other attributes that may be used for prioritisation
Variability;
Proximity of risk occurrence;
Urgency of required response;
Controllability;
Relatedness.

Quantitative risk assessment
Why?
Quantify a project’s likely outturn cost/completion date and consequently
inform monetary contingencies;
More efficient in responding to risk by balancing reduction in exposure
against the cost of control;
Help focus senior management attention on priority areas;
To understand the combined impact of identified risk on a Project;
To incorporate the effect of correlated risk items.
Techniques
Optimism Bias (OB);
Expected Monetary Value (EMV)/Decision Trees;
Quantitative Risk Analysis (QRA) - Probabilistic modelling

A demonstrated systematic tendency for project costs and duration to be
underestimated &/or benefits to be overestimated.
