Key Points
- PERT (Optimistic + 4 * (Realistic) + Pessimistic) / 6
- Communication Channels N * (N-1) / 2
- Total Float: Amount of time activity can be delayed without impacting whole project
- Free Float: Amount of time activity can be delayed before the next process starts
- Schedule Crashing: Increase cost reduce schedule
- Fast Tracking: Fast forwarding schedule increases risk
- Resource Leveling: Schedule increase
- Project risks are always in future
- Risk can be bad or good
- Common approaches to treat: Avoid, Transfer, Mitigate and Accept
- Common approaches to opportunity: Exploit, Share, Enhance and Accept
- Secondary Risk: Risk surfaced due to implementation of risk response
- Residual Risk: Risk remain
- Rough Order Magnitude (ROM): Ballpark estimate
- Communication Types: Push -> Email, Pull -> Website and Interactive -> One on One meeting
- RACI Chart: R->Responsible, A->Accountable, C->Consulted, I->Informed
- Design of Experiment: Variable based approach
- Benchmarking: Comparing with other project
- Component of COQ (Cost Of Quality): Preventative Cost, Appraisal Cost, Internal Failure Cost and External Failure Cost
- Contract Types: Cost reimbursable, T&M, Fixed Price
