Risk Management Background
What is Risk?
• A risk is something that may happen, and if it does, will have either a
positive or negative impact on the project
Consideration: There are one or more active conditions that influence the risk’s
probability of occurrence and one or more response conditions that influence
the risk’s impact
What is Risk Management?
• An intuitive process
• Risk Management?
• I’ve Always Done That!
• What do they want me to do differently?

• Qualitative
– May be used initially to set up a Project
Risk Program
• Quantitative
– Necessary to provide contingency
requirements (cost and schedule) and
isolate individual risk contributions

• Software
– @RISK
• A Palisade Corporation Windows-based tool, which is an ‘add-on’ to
Microsoft Excel
• It is AECOM Standard software for conducting cost risk analysis and
modeling
– Oracle Primavera Risk (Formerly PERTMASTER) / @RISK for
Project
• Oracle Primavera Risk Analysis (Formerly PERTMASTER) or @RISK for
Projects are both AECOM standard tools used for conducting schedule
risk analysis and modeling
