Sensitivity Analysis
Sensitivity analysis shows which variables have the potential to have the most affect upon the main project parameters. RiskyProject performs calculations for the sensitivity analysis as a part all probabilistic calculations. The results of sensitivity analysis are presented as a sensitivity chart in the Sensitivity View.
If task A is shown at the top of the sensitivity chart when Duration is selected, this indicates that the project duration is very sensitive to the uncertainties in the task A’s duration.
Notes:
-
RiskyProject identifies risks based on their unique name. For example, if the risk Budgetary Problems is assigned to different tasks, it will be considered as one risk for the purpose of sensitivity analysis. RiskyProject will calculate the overall affect of this risk on the main project parameters. If you select only risks that are input variables, you will see critical risks or risks that have the most affect on the project schedule and therefore should be mitigated first. In the example above, Critical Risks start with Difficulties obtaining comprehensive information.
-
If an input variable is not seen in the list, it means that it does not or has an insignificant affect on project parameters.
