Selection Of

Project risk management is the process of risk identification, analysis, and response. Risk response includes assessment and selection of the efficient Risk Response Actions (RRA) in order to reduce/enhance the likelihood of the occurrence of threats/opportunities and/or the magnitude of threats/opportunities impact. There is wide agreement that development of RRA plans is an important phase of project risk management, while there are few widely accepted processes, models or tools to support the proper selection of RRAs. The present paper reviews and compares the efforts, which have been made to assess and select RRAs and address the mentioned deficiency found in the published literature. The investigations provide an insight into the need to provide the risk analysts with effective tools and techniques for assessing and selecting RRAs in the area of project risk management.

Contribution Index

This study is about project risk management tools. The aim has been to identify which tools have the greatest potential for contribution to risk management processes in the Norwegian oil and gas industry, and which factors contribute to efficient risk management. Empirical data from the Norwegian industry have been gathered using a questionnaire. The results revealed strong relationships between project system complexity, average tool score and risk management contribution. Furthermore, the results of the analysis show that some of the previous recommendations of tools for project risk management may have been based on a restricted set of determinants. On the other hand, similarities are also found with previous research in terms of the highest ranked tools based on perceived contribution to the risk management performance. Compared to the previous findings, this study indicates that a new measure for project management performance is needed, and that the recommendation of tools based on the risk management contribution index may be flawed. Nevertheless, it is concluded that several of the recommended tools are of great value across industries.

Project Risk Analysis

This paper describes the method of project risk analysis based on design thinking and explores the possibility of its application for industrial investment projects. Traditional and suggested approaches to project risk management have been compared. Several risk analysis artifacts have been added to the standard list of artifacts. An iterative procedure for the formation of risk analysis artifacts has been developed, with the purpose of integrating the risk management process into strategic and prompt decision-making during project management. A list of tools at each stage of design thinking for risk management within the framework of real investment projects has been proposed. The suggested technology helps to determine project objectives and content and adapt them in regards to possible; as well as to implement measures aimed at reducing these risks, to increase productivity of the existing risk assessment and risk management tools, to organize effective cooperation between project team members, and to promote accumulation of knowledge about the project during its development and implementation.The authors declare no conflict of interest.
