  2. All known and unknown risks are equally weighted Allows little control over the project cost/schedule Reactive Clear recognition of project’s threats and opportunities Allows a reasonable control over the project cost/schedule Proactive New Threats Traditional Estimating Risk Based Estimate Threat 1 Base Estimate Base Estimate Contingency Opportunity Threat 2

  4. Base Cost and Schedule Validation • Review the project assumptions • Review the project cost and schedule based on the information available • Update unit price • Update quantities • Capture the cost of unknown cost of miscellaneous items • Remove some contingencies

  5. Variability of the Base Cost and Schedule • The entire construction cost/duration • A major group of pay items • An individual pay item • Symmetrical distribution • Beta3 Distribution

  6. Likelihood of Occurrence [%] Identify Quantify Risks Impact [$,Mo] Cost [$] Duration [Mo] Variability +2% to +10% ValidateBase Cost Duration Risk Based Estimate Engineer’s Estimate Monte Carlo Method

  7. Risks Identification and Quantification • Focus is on • Identify the key ‘risky’ events • Estimate how likely it is that the risky event will materialize • Estimate why and by how much events may turn out differently from the base estimate

  8. Probability of Risk Occurrence • Lowest value = 0 • Highest value = 1 • Middle value = 0.5

  9. Probability of Risk Occurrence • Very Low: = 5% • Low: = 25% • Medium (As Likely As Not) = 50% • High = 75% • Very High: = 95% It is important to be “approximately right.” Do not waste time being “precisely wrong.”

  10. Define Range and Shape Three Point Estimate: about as much information an expert can provide. • “MIN” the first point • “MAX” the second point • “The Best-guess” Range Shape

  11. Shape • “The Best-guess”: This will be the expert’s “median guess” • Median: Actual outcomes evenly distributed over the median guess • “The Best-guess” can’t be too close to the max or the min.

  12. ELICITVALUES: MIN = 100 MAX = 700 Best Guess = 400 Most Likely=400 Entire range (100 to 700) includes 100% of the possibilities

  13. ELICIT VALUES: MIN = 100 MAX = 700 Best Guess = 200 Expert: Costs are more likely to be at the lower end of the range Most Likely 130 Entire range (100 to 700) includes 100% of the possibilities

  14. ELICIT VALUES: MIN = 100 MAX = 700 Best Guess = 600 Expert: Costs are more likely to be at the higher end of the range Most Likely=670 Entire range (100 to 700) includes 100% of the possibilities

  19. Conclusions: • Better understanding of the project’s challenges • Crafts the project risk management plan with clear target on how to enhance the project value • Helps in maximizing the project’s opportunities and reducing or eliminating the project’s threats

  20. The RBE Self-modeling • Two Major Functions • Estimating Function • Risk Management Function

  21. Conclusions: Self-modeling • The model allows registration of meaningful information and it produces valuable results that may be used by decision makers. • The model does not require any special software or specialized skills. • WSDOT - Self-modeling Spread Sheet
