Risk Management: Navigating Uncertainty for LumiGems

Ahmed proactively addresses potential threats and opportunities that could impact the LumiGems project.

1.What Could Go Wrong (or Right)? Identify Risks

Ahmed brainstorms with the team and stakeholders to identify potential risks – both threats and opportunities – that could affect LumiGems. This includes technical, market, resource, and external risks.

2.Rating the Risks: Perform Qualitative Risk Analysis

Ahmed assesses the likelihood and impact of each identified risk. This helps prioritize risks, often using a probability/impact matrix, to determine which ones need urgent attention for LumiGems.

3.Number Crunching Risks: Perform Quantitative Risk Analysis

For high-priority risks, Ahmed may perform a numerical analysis of their effect on LumiGems' objectives. This could involve techniques like Monte Carlo simulation or sensitivity analysis to understand financial or schedule impacts.

4.Action Stations: Develop Risk Responses

For each significant risk, Ahmed and the team develop strategies to address it. This includes plans to avoid, mitigate, or transfer threats, and to exploit, enhance, or share opportunities for LumiGems.

5.The Master Plan for Risks: Develop the Risk Management Plan
