Delphi TechniqueA way to reach a CONSENSUS of
experts (Interview SME’s (Subject Matter Experts)◦A facilitator uses a QUESTIONNAIRE to get ideas about important risks
◦Responses are summarized, & RECIRCULATED to experts for further comment

Used to get comments from competitors
SLOW PROCESS
BrainstormingIdentification of many RisksTeam must be availableHighly creativeEncourages TEAMWORKIf NOT adequately executed, it can lead
to “chaos”◦Depends on how good the facilitator is◦Sometimes you get “volume” but not
necessarily depth or quality◦Doesn’t work for introverts
Works better if you go in teams of “2”, and then come back to the group
Brainstorming ProcessDefine the scopeGet a facilitatorGet a list of PARTICIPANTSConduct brainstorming sessionCONSOLIDATE responsesFill up the list with the
identified risks
Nominal Group TechniqueUsed in problem solving sessions to
encourage creative thinkingINDIVIDUAL brainstormingGet the info IN ADVANCEMix of individual and group participationFast and effectiveLessens the “chaos” of brainstormingEach member of the group writes
down his or her ideas, which are then discussed and prioritized one by one by the group
Crawford Slip1920’s, with PIECES OF PAPERUsed to identify many risks in a
short period of timeUse it when you do not have TIME or
ABILITY to discuss ideas, and just want to collect people's thoughts.
Uses a “slip” or “post-it”Individual brainstormingGroup consolidation
AnalogyBased on previous history
◦What risks other similar projects hadReference is neededAvailable information must be
adjusted to the current scenario
Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats
SWOT
SWOT cont.A method used for controlling areas of planning and risk and highlight areas of the project that could be maximized to the benefit of the whole project
◦or individual areas where some competitive advantage may be gained.
It is used to evaluate particular activities of the project in order to optimize their potential as well as to evaluate risks
SWOT cont.Normally performed during the initial project start-up phase so that the elements of the analysis can form the basis of the project plan
Also can be used later in the project IF the project is running into difficulties with scheduling, deliverables or budget and needs to be brought back on track.
Aka Fishbone Diagram
Cause & Effect Diagram(Explanation: Next 2 slides)
Graphically illustrates the relationship between a given OUTCOME and all the FACTORS that influence this outcome.
Specify the effect to be analyzed. The effect can be positive (objectives) or negative (problems). Place it in a box on the right side of the diagram.
Cause & Effect Diagram cont.
List the major categories of the factors that influence the effect being studied. ◦ The “4 Ms” (Methods, Manpower, Materials,
Machinery) or the:◦ “4 Ps” (Policies, Procedures, People, Plant) are
commonly used as a starting point.
