Sensitivity analysis
Annotations:
Sensivity analysis is a technique to analyze and compare the potential impacts of identified risks. A tornado diagram may be used to graphically depict the results of that analysis. Risks are represented horizontal bars: the longets and uppermost bar represents the gratest risk, and progressively shorter horizontal bars beneath represent lower-ranked risks. The resulting graphic resembles a funnel cloud, tornado.
Expected Monetary Value Analysis
Annotations:
To evaluate a risk, you can look at the probability or the impact, but calculating the expected monetary value is a better measure to determine an overall ranking of risks. The formula for expected monetary value (EMV) is simply probability (P) times impact (I).
