• Uncertainty is inherent to a task.– Example: digging a trench is scheduled for 10 days. It may only
take 8, or could take up to 12.
• Risks are events that may or may not occur and could affect a task.– Example: there is a 5% chance of flooding, which could delay
the digging of the trench by 5 to 8 days.
Risk vs. Uncertainty

• Risk scoring– Thresholds, scoring criteria
• Create risks and assign to tasks– Qualitative, quantitative probabilities and impacts
– Risk scores generated
• Mitigation– Post-mitigated probabilities, impacts and risk scores
• Build impacted risk plans
Primary Risk Register Functionality
![Page 7: Concepts and best practices for the risk register in primavera risk analysis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062420/55d0075fbb61eb13688b4578/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Risk Scoring
• Scores are calculated using Probability and Impact Scoring Diagram
• Determined by intersection of the probability and impact
![Page 8: Concepts and best practices for the risk register in primavera risk analysis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062420/55d0075fbb61eb13688b4578/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
8
Qualitative and Quantitative Risks
• Risks have both qualitative and quantitative values– Quantitative used in impacted risk plan
– Qualitative used to determine risk scores
• Qualitative risks: quantitative values from thresholds– For probability, low and high are averaged
– For impacts, low is min and high is max
• Quantitative risks: qualitative values determined by average of min, max, and most likely impacts
![Page 9: Concepts and best practices for the risk register in primavera risk analysis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062420/55d0075fbb61eb13688b4578/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
9
Qualitative Risks - Example
• Risk HAZ is assigned a high schedule impact
• High schedule threshold is defined as 20 to 40 days in the risk scoring options
![Page 10: Concepts and best practices for the risk register in primavera risk analysis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062420/55d0075fbb61eb13688b4578/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
10
Qualitative Risks - Example
• Risk is assigned to a task on Quantitative tab
• Schedule impact is min 20 days and max 40
![Page 11: Concepts and best practices for the risk register in primavera risk analysis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062420/55d0075fbb61eb13688b4578/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
Quantitative Risks - Example
• Risk ACC is quantified and assigned to task 3
• Cost impact is min $50,000 and max $100,000, average is $75,000
![Page 12: Concepts and best practices for the risk register in primavera risk analysis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062420/55d0075fbb61eb13688b4578/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
Quantitative Risks - Example
• $75,000 is within medium cost threshold
• Qualitative cost impact is medium
![Page 13: Concepts and best practices for the risk register in primavera risk analysis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062420/55d0075fbb61eb13688b4578/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
Qualitative and Quantitative Risks Assigned to Multiple Tasks
• Qualitative: impacts spread across the tasks, per following Risk Register options:– “Spread the risk duration across multiple impacts”
– “Spread the risk costs across multiple impacts”
• Quantitative: impact averages will be summed to determine qualitative value
![Page 14: Concepts and best practices for the risk register in primavera risk analysis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062420/55d0075fbb61eb13688b4578/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
Mitigation
• Mitigation Response of Avoid, Transfer, or Reduce allows for post-mitigation values and score.
• Title and Total Cost optional for simple mitigation plan
![Page 15: Concepts and best practices for the risk register in primavera risk analysis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062420/55d0075fbb61eb13688b4578/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
Mitigation - Detailed Actions
• Qualitative tab > Mitigation tab > Use Detailed Actions
• Multiple mitigation actions with additional fields available
![Page 16: Concepts and best practices for the risk register in primavera risk analysis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062420/55d0075fbb61eb13688b4578/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
Mitigation - Detailed Actions
• Total Cost calculated as sum of details actions costs– Excluding actions set to Rejected
• Post-mitigated values taken from an action– Rejected actions are not considered
– Action with latest finish date is used
– Tie goes to action with the lowest score
![Page 17: Concepts and best practices for the risk register in primavera risk analysis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062420/55d0075fbb61eb13688b4578/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
• Mitigation Response set to Accept: any other response allows for mitigation
• Use Detailed Actions is selected: post-mitigated values taken from an action
• Risk is quantified: post-mitigated values must be set on Quantitative tab
Post-Mitigated Options Grayed Out
![Page 18: Concepts and best practices for the risk register in primavera risk analysis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062420/55d0075fbb61eb13688b4578/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
Building an Impacted Plan
• (Task ID):B is the original task with no risk impact– Duration and duration uncertainty of the original task
![Page 19: Concepts and best practices for the risk register in primavera risk analysis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062420/55d0075fbb61eb13688b4578/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
Building an Impacted Plan
• (Task ID):(Risk ID) is the risk event– Task existence for probability, duration uncertainty for schedule
impact, resource uncertainty (ZCRI) for cost impact
– Zero remaining duration
![Page 20: Concepts and best practices for the risk register in primavera risk analysis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062420/55d0075fbb61eb13688b4578/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20
Building an Impacted Plan
• (Task ID) is the summary for base task and risk event– Logic from original task
– Resource assignments from original task, unless “Cost Impacts include duration costs” is selected in Risk Register options
![Page 21: Concepts and best practices for the risk register in primavera risk analysis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062420/55d0075fbb61eb13688b4578/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
Correlation
• Available on Risk View tab when a risk is assigned to multiple tasks
• Impact Ranges 90% correlation, Event Existence 100%
![Page 22: Concepts and best practices for the risk register in primavera risk analysis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062420/55d0075fbb61eb13688b4578/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Link in Series
• Available on Task View tab when a task has multiple risks assigned
• When unchecked, risks are in parallel
![Page 23: Concepts and best practices for the risk register in primavera risk analysis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062420/55d0075fbb61eb13688b4578/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
Link in Series - Example 1
• Risks are linked in series
• Cumulative effect, both impact schedule
![Page 24: Concepts and best practices for the risk register in primavera risk analysis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062420/55d0075fbb61eb13688b4578/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
Link in Series - Example 2
• Risks are not linked in series, occur in parallel
• Only longest duration affects schedule
![Page 25: Concepts and best practices for the risk register in primavera risk analysis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062420/55d0075fbb61eb13688b4578/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Assigning a Risk to a Summary Task
• Risk will impact sub task with latest finish date
• Potential for confusion over which task risk will impact and/or unexpected impact
![Page 26: Concepts and best practices for the risk register in primavera risk analysis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062420/55d0075fbb61eb13688b4578/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
Assigning a Risk to a Hammock Task
• Crash may occur or impacts may be incorrect
• Ability to do so has been removed in version 8.7.0029
![Page 27: Concepts and best practices for the risk register in primavera risk analysis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062420/55d0075fbb61eb13688b4578/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
Other Considerations and FAQs
• Opportunity on task near Data Date– Opportunities work by pulling back start date, impact may be
incorrect
• What do risk start and finish dates affect?– Proximity, exposure plan
• Is there a way to quickly assign a risk to a large number of tasks?– Filter on Risk View tab or use “Impacted Task ID(s)” column:
IDs separated by comma, no space
