Quantitative Risk Analysis: Outputs
11.6.2 Risk Monitoring and Control: Tools and Techniques
.1 Risk Reassessment Risk Monitoring and Control often requires identification of new risks and reassessment of risks, using the processes of this chapter as appropriate. Project risk reassessments should be regularly scheduled. Project Risk Management should be an agenda item at project team status meetings. The amount and detail of repetition that is appropriate depends on how the project progresses relative to its objectives. For instance, if a risk emerges that was not anticipated in the risk register or included on the watchlist, or if its impact on objectives is different from what was expected, the planned response may not be adequate. It will then be necessary to perform additional response planning to control the risk. .2 Risk Audits Risk audits examine and document the effectiveness of risk responses in dealing with identified risks and their root causes, as well as the effectiveness of the risk management process. .3 Variance and Trend Analysis Trends in the project’s execution should be reviewed using performance data. Earned value analysis Section 7.3.2.4 and other methods of project variance and trend analysis may be used for monitoring overall project performance. Outcomes from these analyses may forecast potential deviation of the project at completion from cost and schedule targets. Deviation from the baseline plan may indicate the potential impact of threats or opportunities. .4 Technical Performance Measurement Technical performance measurement compares technical accomplishments during project execution to the project management plan’s schedule of technical achievement. Deviation, such as demonstrating more or less functionality than planned at a milestone, can help to forecast the degree of success in achieving the project’s scope. .5 Reserve Analysis Throughout execution of the project, some risks may occur, with positive or negative impacts on budget or schedule contingency reserves Section 11.5.2.4. Reserve analysis compares the amount of the contingency reserves remaining to the amount of risk remaining at any time in the project, in order to determine if the remaining reserve is adequate.

That item may take no time or a long time, depending on the risks that have been identified, their priority, and difficulty of response. Risk management becomes easier the more often it is practiced, and frequent discussions about risk make talking about risks, particularly threats, easier and more accurate.11.6.3 Risk Monitoring and Control: Outputs
.1 Risk Register Updates An updated risk register contains: • Outcomes of risk reassessments, risk audits, and periodic risk reviews. These outcomes may include updates to probability, impact, priority, response plans, ownership, and other elements of the risk register. Outcomes can also include closing risks that are no longer applicable. • The actual outcomes of the project’s risks, and of risk responses that can help project managers plan for risk throughout the organization, as well as on future projects. This completes the record of risk management on the project, is an input to the Close Project process Section 4.7, and becomes part of the project closure documents. .2 Requested Changes 11 Implementing contingency plans or workarounds frequently results in a requirement to change the project management plan to respond to risks. Requested changes are prepared and submitted to the Integrated Change Control process Section 4.6 as an output of the Risk Monitoring and Control process. Approved change requests are issued and become inputs to the Direct and Manage Project Execution process Section 4.4 and to the Risk Monitoring and Control process. .3 Recommended Corrective Actions Recommended corrective actions include contingency plans and workaround plans. The latter are responses that were not initially planned, but are required to deal with emerging risks that were previously unidentified or accepted passively. Workarounds should be properly documented and included in both the Direct and Manage Project Execution Section 4.4 and Monitor and Control Project Work Section 4.5 processes. Recommended corrective actions are inputs to the Integrated Change Control process Section 4.6. .4 Recommended Preventive Actions Recommended preventive actions are used to bring the project into compliance with the project management plan.
