Risk Assessment

1. Planning and Preparation

2. Risk Identification

3. Risk Analysis

  • Identify all relevant risks from the checklist.
  • Determine the probability of each risk happening.
  • Use historical data or expert judgment.
  • Assign a likelihood rating (e.g., low, medium, high).
  • Identify key objectives affected by each risk.
  • Evaluate the severity of the impact if the risk occurs.
  • Use a scale to rate the impact (e.g., minor, moderate, severe).
  • Consider both short-term and long-term effects.
  • Qualitative: Gather expert opinions and use risk matrices.
  • Quantitative: Apply statistical methods to estimate risk values.
  • Combine both approaches for a comprehensive analysis.
  • Document the methods and findings clearly.
  • Create a risk matrix to visualize likelihood vs. impact.
  • Rank risks from highest to lowest priority.
  • Focus on high likelihood and high impact risks first.
  • Review and adjust priorities regularly based on new information.
