Project risk identification methods

Therefore, do it in the right way risk identifications is crucial.

Here are 8 common risk analysis methods.

Brainstorming method

All members of the team take turns presenting ideas and ideas in the form of meetings.

Essentials:

• the selected experts should be authoritative and representative;
• keep anonymous and ensure that experts give their opinions independently.
• 03 scenario analysis

According to the diversity of development trends, through the systematic analysis of related issues inside and outside the system, a variety of possible future prospects are designed, and then the development of the system is described from start to finish using a method similar to writing a screenplay.

essentials:

• Identify the factors that influence the subject;
• Pest can be used in the analysis process analysis with the swot analysis matrix.

Checklist method

The potential risks of this project are associated against existing checklists.

The checklist includes:

• the reasons for the success or failure of the previous project;
• project scope, cost, quality, schedule, procurement and contract, human resources and communication;
• the project product or service specification;
• project management member skills;

Flowchart method

Establish a total flowchart of the project and sub-flowchart, analyze the potential risks of each link, and the project travel in the name of the project at any time against the progress of the project.
