Intaver Institute on Risk Governance Forum
DSC05889Intaver Institute presented its methodology and risk analysis software at Policy Forum “Risk Governance for Key Enabling Technologies” organized by Society for Risk Analysis (SRA). The forum was held in Cultural Center Don Orione Artigianelli, in Venice, Italy. The topic of Intaver’s presentation was “Risk Governance Framework for Aerospace and Defence Projects”. The presentation included discussions about Event Chain Methodology as well as project risk analysis and risk management software RiskyProject and their applications in aerospace and defence industry. The SRA Forum “provided discussion of current initiatives that are centered in refining the risk governance of emerging technologies through the integration of traditional risk analytic tools “.The next event organized by SRA are 26th SRA-Europe Annual Conference 19 June – 21 June 2017 in Lisbon, Portugal.

Maximum number of mitigation and response plans

March 10, 2017

Q: Maximum number of mitigation and response plans
What is the maximum number of mitigation and response plans in RiskyProject?

A: Maximum number of mitigation and response plans in risk mitigation view is 2000. Maximum number of mitigation plans which can be assigned to one risk and presented within Waterfall diagram of Risk Information dialog is also 2000.
It is more than enough for any work in risk mitigation. Please note that in any view in grids there different number of maximum number of rows. For example, maximum number of tasks is 20,000, maximum number of resources is 2,000. Maximum number of risks is also 2,000.

Base duration for Normal and Uniform distributions

March 10, 2017

Q: Base duration for Normal and Uniform distributions
I have Low Duration = 5 days, Base Duration = 6 days and High Duration = 10 days. I think Base Duration is ignored when I define Normal and Uniform distributions.

A: Base duration is not used for the sampling process when you define any distributions except for Triangular. The image below presents your case.

Image

Please note that base duration is reflected in Triangular distribution, but Normal distribution is generated based on low and high duration values only. The same is true for non-symmetrical distributions, such as lognormal. You may use slides in Distribution tab to adjust most likely (peak) of lognormal. However base duration is used for deterministic (original) project schedule. Sometimes you may switch distribution to Triangular from any other, therefore it is important to ensure that base duration is correct.

What is the difference between risk outcome value and risk outcome type?

February 27, 2017

Q: What is the difference between risk outcome value and risk outcome type?
Risk Outcomes and Risk Outcome Types

A: In RiskyProject, the word Outcome was originally added to differentiate risk assessment inputs and outputs. In RiskyProject, outcome types and outcomes are analogous risk categories and impacts when entering risk assignments to the system. Outcome types are analogous to risk categories. When the system risk register is set up, the system has hardcoded risk categories and outcomes.

When you assign risks, you select the outcome type and then the outcome which is the estimated impact of the risk on the outcome type.

Defining uncertainties for lags

February 27, 2017

Q: Defining uncertainties for lags
Do you have statistical distributions for lags and how are they defined?

A: Yes, if you want to define a lag with uncertainty (has a most likely, low and high estimates) , you can add this to the predecessor in the Task Information > Predecessors tab.

When you create a predecessor link to a task, open the Task Information dialog box and click the Predecessors tab. Here you can add the Low, Base, and High estimates for the lag as well as select the statistical distribution type.

Assigning Risks to specific objects in the Portfolio Hierarchy

February 27, 2017

Q: Assigning Risks to specific objects in the Portfolio Hierarchy
How to can I assign risks to a specific division of our company in RiskyProject Enterprise?

A: In RiskyProject Enterprise, you can use both projects and summary projects to represent divisions, regions, facilities, or other type of organization object. Your companies structure can be represented in the Portfolio hierarchy and each one of the objects will have its own separate risk register.
Once you have created your organizations structure, you can add risks specifically to each division or other level of the hierarchy using Risk Visibility settings. Risk Visibility allows you to set where in your organization’s hierarchy the risk can be assigned.
