Project Management

Rate each WBS activity on a risk chart
  1. Project Management Lecture So Far:
    1. Project Appraisal- Our example is an Off-shore wind-farm
      1. technological 
        1. transmission losses
      2. environmental and social impact
      3. economic benefits
      4. financial assessment
      5. risks must be addressed at this and all subsequent stages
        1. business risks
    2. Project Life Cycle
      1. Timing of key project milestones
      2. Indication of time scales for various project
    3. Stakeholder Analysis
    4. Work Break Down Structure
    5. Network Analysis and Resources
    6. Risk Analysis
    7.  
  2. Demonstrate that you understand what a financial appraisal (appraisal implies internal corporate use) 
    1. after appraisal, a gate, then feasibility study. 
  3. Risk analysis continued:
    1. Insurable Risks (Pure Risks) Come along with restriction from insurance company
      1. based on insurance policy
    2. Project Risk Lifecycle (see previous lecture) 
    3. When computing risks, initially don't look at the impacts
      1. only look at the probability first
      2. later look at impact (so as not to influence your probability numbers)
    4. Identify specific risks, then move to a quantitative risk analysis
      1. effect of cost
      2. effect on time
      3. assume quality and environment not affected
    5. Next move to mitigate risks (reduce risk exposure)
    6. determine sponsor's appetite for risk
    7. identify organizational assets (templates, for example Pri-M Schlumberger risk template)
      1. Danger- a risk analysis template doesn't promote thinking 
    1. Identify ownership for risk, responsibility for each sub-task
  4. Risk Identification techniques
    1. interviewing
    2. brainstorming
    3. assumptions analysis
    4. checklist: corporate risk register
    5. Delphi technique- consensus by experts
    6. Root cause identification (Ishikawa-diagram)
    7. SWOT analysis
