Improvement of the planning reliability by the integration of human skills in project risk management

Abstract

To make the project more profitable, the actors that are the more adequate to perform the tasks have to be selected and decisions about how to deal with risks during the project have to be made. In this paper, the resource management is integrated into a project risk management approach. A decision support system is proposed to help the project manager decide which risk treatment strategy to develop and which assignments to plan to be the more efficient as well as less sensitive to the risks. Finally, a case study based on a weather forecasting station project is developed to validate this approach.

An original approach to assess the robustness of road freight transport plannings based on a dynamic risk identification

“…The authors define the concepts of risk scenario, treatment scenario and project scenario. This method has been applied in several domains for aiding decision makers dealing with uncertainty: satellites design projects (Marmier et al, 2014b), new product development projects (Deniaud et al, 2016;Marmier et al, 2013Marmier et al, , 2012, construction projects (Marmier et al, 2014a). ProRisk is now integral part of the platform RIOSUITE.…”

Criticality and propagation analysis of impacts between project deliverables

“…Over the course of a project (from its definition to its planning and execution), risks can occur and induce changes in the planning and, therefore, on the project time and cost (Marmier et al 2014). To reduce the risk level in a project, it is necessary to define and apply a treatment strategy of the risk.…”
