Risk Management is How Adults Manage Projects

Herding Cats

All making things smaller dos is show that you're late, over budget, and what you're building (Technical Performance Measures) doesn't work faster. It just closed the loop faster. Risk Analysis – A Quantitative Guide , Third Edition, David Vose, John Wiley & Sons April 2008. This is good, but it doesn't reduce risk.

Deconstructing The Cone of Uncertainty

Herding Cats

Don't toss out the notion that reducing risk and uncertanty and all other performance measures doesn't follow the plan. . The Cone of Uncertainty is the Planned reduction in the uncertainty of critical project variables (cost, schedule, technical performance) needed to increase the probability of project success.

Cone of Uncertainty - Part Cinq

Herding Cats

When actual measures of cost, schedule, and technical performance are outside the planned cone of uncertainty, corrective actions must be taken to move those uncertanties inside the cone of uncertanty, if the project is going to meet it's cost, schedule, and technical performance goals. .

Cone of Uncertainty - Part Cinq (Updated)

Herding Cats

- How much variance reduction needs to take place in the project attributes (risk, effectiveness, performance, cost, schedule - shown below) at what points in time, to increase the probability of project success? This is a closed loop control system for managing the program with a T echnical Performance Measure (TPM).
