These two tools aids in determining the highest priorities through the evaluation of the probability of each risk occurring, and its potential impact on the project. |
| 2 |
Probability distributions |
These are a mathematical representation of the probability of risk events occurring (uncertain events) |
| 3 |
Sensitivity analysis |

| 4 |
Decision tree analysis |
This is a flow diagram usually structured where each node (represented by a rectangle) describes the risk aspect and its cost. |
| 5 |
Expected monetary value analysis (EMV) |
This is a statistical concept that calculates the average outcome when the future includes uncertain events, whether opportunities or risks. |
| 6 |
