  • ESE Paper 1 |IRMS | Ipate What Is Work Breakdown Structure?
    ______________________________________________________________________________ What is Work Breakdown Structure? A Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is a deliverable-oriented hierarchical division of the project work to be executed by team to accomplish the objectives and produce the required deliverables (outputs). The WBS is the Work Breakdown Structure. It is a hierarchical representation of the elements (tasks) that comprise a project. Creating a Work Breakdown Structure does just as the name implies, breaking down the work into smaller chunks that everyone can chew. A project seems very overwhelming at first, and the WBS helps stop these feelings. A quick glance at the WBS allows everyone on the _____________________________________________________________________________________ YourPedia |ESE Paper 1 |IRMS | iPATE For more details visit us at: www.yourpedia.in or call at 98552-73076 ______________________________________________________________________________ project team to see what has been done, and what needs to be done. The WBS is a very important part of project management for this very reason. It is prepared during the planning phase of project management. On the basis of WBS, effective project planning, execution, controlling, monitoring & reporting can be done. All the work contained within the WBS is to be identified, estimated, scheduled, and budgeted. _____________________________________________________________________________________ YourPedia |ESE Paper 1 |IRMS | iPATE For more details visit us at: www.yourpedia.in or call at 98552-73076 ______________________________________________________________________________ Work Breakdown Structure Diagram The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is developed to establish a common understanding of project scope.

  • A Risk Breakdown Structure for Public Sector Construction Projects
    A Risk Breakdown Structure for Public Sector Construction Projects Marie Dalton Centre for Research in the Management of Projects, Manchester Business School, The University of Manchester (email: [email protected]) Abstract This research is part of a wider project (ProRIde) focusing on the risk identification stage of the risk management process. The specific remit of the study is to analyse the text of National Audit Office (NAO) reports to identify recurring risk sources on public sector construction projects. A textual analysis software, QSR N6, is used to code the data. The risk source information in organised and presented in a Risk Breakdown Structure (RBS), a hierarchical presentation of risk sources. The output of this study represents a contribution to knowledge in that it is empirically derived – many risk identification support tools are compiled on an ad•hoc basis through brainstorming or personal experience. This research takes advantage of a rich existing database and employs a systematic methodology to develop an RBS that is specific to the context of public sector construction projects. Keywords: Public sector procurement, construction, risk identification, risk breakdown structures, QSR N6 1. Introduction 1.1 Overview of the ProRIde project ProRIde (Project Risk Identification) is an EPSRC•funded project (GR/R51452) concerned specifically with the risk identification phase of the risk management process (see Figure 1). Concurrent studies within the ProRIde project examine risk identification by individual project managers [1] and work is starting on group dynamics. Comprehensive risk identification is central to the relevance and effectiveness of the subsequent risk management process [2] • unidentified risk sources remain as unknown and unmanaged threats to the project objectives.

  • Uncovering All of the Risks on Your Projects Vol
    PM World Journal Uncovering All Of The Risks On Your Projects Vol. V, Issue IX – September 2016 by Paul Burek, PMP, CSM www.pmworldjournal.net Second Edition Uncovering All Of The Risks On Your Projects1 Paul Burek, PMP, CSM Solutions Cube Group LLC Abstract Through my experience working with project teams, in many industries, on hundreds of projects, I have learned that although Project Managers (PMs) are expected to manage risk on their projects, many times they end up fighting fires and managing the problems that result from unmanaged or unknown risks. There are many reasons why Project Managers avoid Risk Management and resort to firefighting project problems. Common perceptions PMs have are: My project won’t hurt anybody Our company has a “kill the messenger” syndrome, so it is best not to bring up risks Firefighting is rewarded, the more problems I can solve, the better I look Failure is not an option, so why focus on risks, our team won’t allow them to impact the project Risk is inevitable, so why bother trying to avoid or manage it. Another underlying reason for not managing risk on projects, or not managing it well, is because the Project Manager does not have the right tools and techniques for risk management. It all too common for PMs to understand risk management theory, but not be skilled in the transformation of this theory into practical application. Effective risk management includes engaging the project stakeholders throughout the entire risk management process: identifying, assessing, responding to and managing risks throughout the life of the project.

  • Event Chain Methodology in Project
    Copyright Notice: Materials published by ProjectDecisions.org may not be published elsewhere without prior written consent of ProjectDecisions.org. Requests for permission to reproduce published materials should state where and how the material will be used. Event Chain Methodology In Details Lev Virine, Ph.D., [email protected] Michael Trumper, [email protected] ProjectDecisions.org Abstract This paper is a detailed description of event chain methodology: schedule network analysis and an uncertainty modeling technique for project management. Event chain methodology focuses on identifying and managing the events and event chains that affect projects. Event chain methodology improves the accuracy of project planning simplifying the modeling and analysis of uncertainties in the project schedules. As a result, it helps to mitigate the negative impact of cognitive and motivational biases related to project planning. Introduction Virtually all projects are affected by multiple risks and uncertainties. These uncertainties are difficult to identify and analyze which can lead to inaccurate project schedules. Due to such uncertainties, most projects do not proceed exactly as planned. In many cases, they lead to project delays, cost overruns, and even project failures. Therefore, creating accurate project schedules, which reflect potential risks and uncertainties remains one of the main challenges in project management. Flyvbjerg, Holm and Buhl (2002; 2004; 2005) reviewed technical, psychological and political explanations for inaccurate scheduling and forecasting. They found that strategic misrepresentation under political and organizational pressure expressed by project planners as well as cognitive biases play major role in inaccurate forecasting. In other words project planner either unintentionally due to some psychological biases or intentionally under organizational pressure come up with wrong estimations.

    International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research, Volume 7, Issue 10, October-2016 1147 ISSN 2229-5518 A Review of Project Risk Management Mohamed, H.F.-Projects Contracts Department - Petroleum Marine Services Company Abstract: Since project risk management is of particular importance in the execution of all projects, special attention should be given to large scale projects as they have many areas of risk through the whole project life cycle. During the preliminary phase of the project life cycle, important strategic decisions are taken thus a professional risk management is needed in this phase to improve the identification and implementation of suitable response actions. This review paper contains a review of recent research relating to project risk management. It presents an overview of the basic concepts in risk management by conducting its different processes, projects lessons learned, and projects debriefing methods. It considers project risk management using the technique of risk breakdown structure. Related areas of risk management in large projects are called upon in this paper so this paper can act as a source document for further study. The risk cube technique and questionnaire survey technique which are two of the simplest and effective techniques in the risk load of the various project elements are discussed within this paper .Finally the risk elements associated with executing large scale projects influence the time; cost, technical achievement, and quality are discussed and concluded. Keywords: Project risk management -Project life cycle - Risk processes - Basic concepts - Project preliminary Phase - Projects Lessons learned – Projects debriefing methods – Risk Breakdown Structure – RBS- project risk cube – questionnaire Survey - time - cost - technical achievement – quality —————————— —————————— 1.

E-mail: [email protected]/[email protected] Received: February 12, 2016 Accepted: March 25, 2016 Online Published: April 10, 2016 doi:10.5539/mas.v10n6p74 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/mas.v10n6p74 Abstract Ranking supply chain risks is as an important part of supply chain risk management especially when the numbers of risk factors are increased. In this study, the comprehensive structure of the main risks are prepared in three levels of the supply chain (3 total sets, 7 sub-categories and 34 categories and 300 subcategories) initially and then these risks are evaluated and ranked in the steel supply chain in Esfahan Steel Complex as a case study. For this purpose, group decision-making methods and means of collection and aggregation experts and linear assignment method is used as a method of Multiple Decision Making to determine the ranking of risks. Ranking indexes were divided in two primary and secondary categories. The primary index is based on likelihood and impact of risks on the main objectives (schedule, cost, quality and scope) of supply chain activities with different weights. The second category of indicators includesocio-economic effects, environmental impacts, near the time of risk, exposure to risk, the confidence level of the estimates and the management of risk, risk reduction and risk discovering.
