Identification
It is essential to identify all risks that may potentially influence the project so that the necessary precautions can be taken and disaster can be avoided.
Tools can be used to identify risks, such as:
The Ishikawa diagram

Quantitative Analysis
This is a more comprehensive analysis, but also more complex and time consuming. To perform a quantitative analysis, specific quantitative risk analysis systems should be used, such as mathematical simulations:
Monte Carlo
Decision tree
