When creating a project, encountering risks is inevitable. With growing technologies and newly evolving working methodologies, risk management has become extremely important. Risks need to be identified and mitigated properly or they can gravely harm your progress. These risks need to be addressed with utmost clarity and transparency. Today, many companies focus on removing these risks as early as possible. A very effective technique that can help you do this is with Quantitative Risk Assessment.
What is Quantitative Risk Assessment?
Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) is finding, assessing and analyzing the risks. With this useful technique you are able to predict precisely in a quantifiable way how the risk will affect your work’s progress. The results generated from this method are made after keeping a variety of assumptions and constraints in mind thus ensuring the validity of the results made. It helps to make cost effective decisions and manages the risks for the project. This helps identify preventive measures thereby reducing the likelihood of affecting the company and its team members.
How is Quantitative Risk Assessment Done?
The risks are identified and recorded into a list. From this list, risks need to be prioritized and then fed into a Risk Register. These risks are then ranked according to their level of severity and impact by using probability distributions to calculate the risk’s impact and probability. It also utilizes constraints like schedule, cost estimates and other resources.
