The facilitator ensures that participants participate effectively, understand each other, consider all opinions, and fully support the conclusions reached according to the established decision-making process.
nominal group
Rank ideas by voting to facilitate brainstorming
It consists of four steps:
1 . Ask the group a question. Everyone writes their own thoughts.
2 . Express opinions. No discussion.
3. Discuss and evaluate.
4. Individuals vote privately to prioritize ideas
Usually a 5-point scale is used, with 1 being the lowest and 5 being the highest. To reduce the number of ideas and focus on them, several rounds of voting can be conducted. After each round of voting, the votes are counted and the top-scoring ideas are chosen.

statistical sampling
Used for measurement control and quality confirmation, characterized by cost saving and rapid
Plan quality management to determine sampling frequency and scale
Checklist
Includes a list of items, actions or points to consider
market survey
Examine industry conditions and specific seller capabilities
3. Data analysis
File analysis
Documentation includes: agreements, business plans; business process and interface documentation; current processes; marketing literature; issue logs, policies and procedures. regulatory documents
Alternatives Analysis
Such as which scheduling methods are used and how to integrate different methods into the project
Reserve analysis
A contingency reserve, also known as a schedule reserve, is a duration included in the schedule baseline for identified risks that have been accepted. Related to “known-unknown” risks, contingency reserves can be used, reduced or eliminated
Management reserves, specially set aside project budgets to deal with unforeseen work within the project scope. Related to "unknown-to-unknown" risks that are not included in the schedule baseline but are part of the overall project duration. Using management reserves may require changes to the progress baseline
What-if scenario analysis
Consider various scenarios, “What would happen if scenario X occurred?”
Simulation-Monte Carlo Analysis
Use probability distribution representations to calculate multiple possible work package durations based on multiple different assumptions, constraints, risks, or scenarios
iterative burnout diagram
Calculate trends based on remaining work to predict completion
Earned Value Analysis (EVA)
Progress performance measurement indicators. Used to evaluate the degree of deviation from the progress baseline
Key points: CV SV CPI SPI
Cost Variance
Schedule Variance
Cost-benefit analysis
A financial analysis tool used to estimate the advantages and disadvantages of alternatives to determine which alternatives will create the best benefits
Investment = return, quality is the best, quality is free
quality cost
Prevention costs (consistency costs)
Prevent the costs caused by inferior products
Assessment costs (consistency costs)
Costs incurred by evaluating, measuring, auditing, and testing products for a specific project
Cost of failure (internal/external)
(Cost of non-conformity)
The cost incurred if the product is inconsistent with the expectations of relevant parties
Increase prevention costs, reduce evaluation costs, and try to avoid failure costs
Assumptions and constraints
Check the hypothesis log
SWOT analysis
A case-by-case examination of the project’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats
Risk quantity and quality assessment
Evaluate the reliability and accuracy of data regarding individual project risks
Risk probability and impact assessment
The likelihood of characteristic risks occurring and their impact on the project
Low frequency risks and risks of impact will be placed on the watch list of the risk register for future monitoring
sensitivity analysis
tornado diagram
Determine which individual risks have the greatest potential impact on top results, with each element ranked in descending order of association strength, forming a tornado shape
Decision tree analysis
Choose the best option among alternatives. Use different branches to represent different decisions, calculate the expected monetary value of each branch, and select the optimal path.

Once a threat is reported, there will be no further oversight by the project team
avoid
Change plans to complete elimination of threats, such as reducing scope, canceling work, extending schedule
transfer
Transfer risk impact and response responsibilities to a third party and pay risk fees. Examples: insurance, bonds, bonds, contracts, subcontracting of critical work
alleviate
Reduce the probability and impact of threats, such as adopting simpler processes. Use more reliable suppliers; conduct more testing; draw prototypes
accept
Low-priority threats, acknowledge the existence of threats, and continue to promote project progress according to the current situation
A common active acceptance strategy is to establish a contingency reserve. The passive acceptance strategy does not take proactive measures, but only periodically reviews threats.
Opportunity coping strategies
Report
Opportunities are usually escalated to the level that will be affected by the opportunity

Overall project risk response strategy
circumvent, exploit, transfer or share, alleviate or improve, accept
Also known as contingency plan, rebound plan
emergency response strategies
