Cycle, participants and versions The risk analysis has to be updated regularly throughout the entire project lifecycle.
Mandatory participants are PjM (CI and UD),Product-Owner (in agile projects)and PjQM. In case of a study, PjQM is an optional participant.
It is best practise to define standards for Impact [I] and Probability [P] in each project.
Procedure In updating the risk analysis, existing risks will be reassessed and new risks will be identified and documented.
The initial Risk-Assessment [RZ] after documenting a Risk for the first
time can be manually maintained under "Initial RZ".
Existing values of Probability [P] & Impact [I] can be overwritten with new rating values based on reassessment of the risk.
In the event that a new risk is added or any rating (Probability [P] or Impact ([]) is changed, a new version of the risk assessment template must be created. The latest version of the
risk assessment must be used for the respective QG.
Versioning of the risk assessment template can be done with the versioning function of SharePoint or manually by renaming the version of the risk assessment template and storing
them in the project folder. It is a good practice to regularly baseline the risk assessment worksheet for tracebility purposes!
Definition of actions For every risk a risk action has to be defined in the risk register. For each action a risk action owner must be named and a deadline has to be defined. It is common to have multiple
action items for a single risk. In this case, each risk action must have a risk action owner and deadline clearly defined.
If possible, a risk trigger should be defined as a indicator of the imminent occurance of an identified risk.
New action(s) have to be defined if existing risk actions are insufficient to fully eliminate the impact of the risk.
Risk actions must be as close to the resolution of the risk impact as possible, temporary workaround solutions are not considered final risk containment actions! Fallback plans
should be defined for critical risk.
No action has to be defined for risk-response 'Action', but a comment describing why the risk has been accepted is necessary under column 'Remarks'.
It is possible to 'Accept' risks under a certain threshold (e.g. 5) without defining actions if this is accepted by the Project Sponsors. These risks have to be marked with status 'Low
Risk'.
Tracking of risks and actions If actions are tracked in a separate tool (e.g. Track & Release) a link to the respective tracking tool has to be maintained on the 'Summary'-Tab.
For action measuement tracking in this template, an appropriate Risk Status of: 'Open', 'In Progress', 'Completed', 'Low Risk' must be maintained.
Effectiveness of risk actions has to be reviewed regularly throughout the project lifecycle. New actions must be defined if existing risk actions are insufficient to fully eliminate the
impact of the risk.
With the successful implementation of risk actions, the risk Probability [P] rating can be reduced accordingly.
The risk Impact [I] rating howevercannot be reduced unless evidence exists that the root cause of the risk has been migitated and hence impact of the risk is lower than originally
identified (or the financial impact is reduced through an insurance).
Additional Information on risk It is a good practise to also considerpositive risk during the risk identification process. Positive risks are opportunities to the project that can be exploited.
categories
Risk Response Strategy 'Pursue' should be used to identify opportunities (positive risk). Positive risk should still be categorized (BR, CR, SR, ...) and asessed for their probability and
impact.
Risk category
Risks that have an impact on the customers business processes.
1 BR = Business
Example: Potential divestiture in 5 years time. An example for an opportunity would be to open up a new market that was not initially targeted with the project.
Risks that have an impact on project budget or project costing.
2 BtR = Budget
Example: Insufficient budget. As an opportunity it would mean to deliver the project at a reduced budget.
Risks that have an impact on customer-satisfaction towards project.
3 CR = Customer Satisfaction
Example: High stakeholder expectation on deliverables. A possibility to increase the user-experience would be an example for an opportunity.
Risks that have an impact on the quality of the projects deliverables.
4 QR = Quality
Example: High error rate, critical test failure, or an improvement to decrease these factors (as opportunity).
Risks that have an impact on resource-fulfillment.
5 RR = Resource
Example: Unstaffed demand for critical roles, high dependencies of single critical role, the possibility to collaborate on a work-package with another project to reduce workload.
Risks that have an impact on the project schedule.
6 ScR = Schedule
Example: High critical path, complex dependencies between work packages, an opportunity to use a co-working space for the project-team to expedite delivery of work-packages.
Risk assessment:
Probability of occurrence [P] 5 = very high
4 = high
3 = medium
2 = low
1 = unlikely
Impact / Significance of effects [I] 5 = very severe
4 = severe
3 = medium
2 = low
1 = none
Risk - Risk figure [RZ] The risk figure supports the prioritization of risks and is the result of the product of Probability and Impact:
Risk = Probibility [P] * Impact [I]
