\u201chow do i convince my team that this is worth the effort?\u201d<\/p>\n
this is one of the frequently asked questions that we run across during our discussions with project teams and it is a good question that deserves an answer.<\/p>\n
project risk analysis is not without cost. it takes time and effort to develop the culture, processes and tools to perform them effectively and often, in the same way it takes time to become good at a scheduling.<\/p>\n
while the time and cost required is self-evident, the benefits can often be difficult to discern and the ones that\u00a0 i think are most important are often not the most obvious.<\/p>\n
at a very basic level, risk analysis is a thinking exercise.<\/p>\n
it provides your team a chance to look very closely at your plan and ask three questions:<\/p>\n

you might want to ask:<\/p>\n
how can you minimize the impact on your project? do you source out a new supplier, change the project scope, or perhaps transfer the risk by outsourcing the work that is linked to that supplier?<\/p>\n
