Achieving Predictable Projects

Join Gary Berman and Paul McNutt as they discuss strategies to achieve predictable projects in a world full of Black Swan risks. Learn about risk assessment techniques, levels of analysis, and future risk management strategies. Explore the impact of various risks, from labor rates to extreme weather, and understand how to translate risks into real impact. Gain insights into the four levels of risk assessment, from sensitivity analysis to full cause and effect modeling. Discover how to effectively mitigate risks and ensure project success with expert guidance.

  6. How Deep is Your Risk Pond

  7. A Spectrum of Risk Tactical Quantity accuracy Labor rates Productivity Weather Margin of error Design allowance Strategic Basis of design unc. Partner alignment Permitting Future Foreign exchange Hyper-inflation Changing regulation “Black Swan” Market crash War Extreme weather Major scope change

  12. Scope Definition

  13. Governance Model

  14. Global Hyper-inflation

  15. Geopolitcal

  16. Considerations When Modeling Risk • Definition of risk in dollars or days • Frequency • Probability Rating Scale • Optimistic / Likely / Pessimistic • Combinations • Lone wolf or hunting in packs • Iterative Analysis to determine ranges • Determine cost effectiveness of risk mitigation

  17. Risk Translated into Real Impact

  18. Risk Spectrum

  19. The Four Levels of Risk Assessment • Level 1: Sensitivity Analysis • Use of plus/minus percents to “test” a projects weaknesses • Generally uses symmetric ranges (e.g., +10% and -10%) • Level 2: Three Point Ranging • Use of continuous distributions on cost estimate line items • Generally ignores dependency between similar items • Level 3: Three Point Ranging with Dependencies • Use of continuous distributions with correlation • Generally ignores risk events and schedule slips • Level 4: Full Cause and Effect Modeling • Use of three point ranges on cost estimate variables coupled with dependencies and risk events including a linked schedule risk Ranges generated from Levels 1-3 are typically narrow and unskewed Ranges generated from Level 4 are wider and skewed reflecting observed data
