2、 附 件：1、外文原文；2、外文資料翻譯譯文。 指導教師評語： 簽字： 年 月 日 Defining Risk Response Plans You’ve identified your risks, analyzed them for their impacts on the project, assigned probabilities and impact values, determined an expected value, and ra

3、nked them in order. You’ve also determined which of the risks, given all those conditions, require response plans. This chapter discusses what risk response plans are, the techniques for developing response plans, and how to document and write plans for those risks that have a high probability and h

4、igh impact on the project. Let’s get to it. Risk Response Planning Risk Response Planning is the process of deciding what actions to take to educe threats (especially to schedule and cost) while taking advantage of he opportunities other risks present. Typically, you’ll want to develop risk respo

5、nse plans for risks with the potential for high probability and high impact. It isn’t efficient to spent time writing response plans for risks you’ve determined aren’t likely to occur and won’t impact the project significantly if they do. For example, if I’m building a tourist center in the Mojave D

6、esert, I wouldn’t spend time on a risk response plan for the possibility of rain（It does rain in the Mojave an average of 2.5 inches per year), so the possibility exists, but it’s highly unlikely it would impact my project. I’ll deal with these types of risks in the “Contingency Planning” section a

7、little later in this chapter. Remember that risk management planning, including the development of risk response plans, isn’t a one-time exercise. As you progress through the project and learn more about potential risk events, you’ll reevaluate their impacts, which may require a change in strategy

8、to deal with the risk and a new or revised response plan. And even though I’ve focused primarily on risks that prevent you from meeting the goals of the project, don’t forget that risks can produce opportunities. Uncertain Certainty One thing is certain: your project does have risks, and if you ch

9、oose to ignore them, your project will have an uncertain outcome. All project risk is closely linked with the availability of information and communication, or the lack thereof, as I’ve talked about previously. The more information you have, the more likely you’re able to predict the risk event and

10、its impacts. And the better you’re able to predict risk impacts, the better you’ll be at creating risk response plans. When thinking about risk response plans, keep in mind that risk out-comes generally fall into three categories: * Known risks with predictable outcomes * Known risks with uncert

11、ain outcomes * Unknown risks with unpredictable outcomes These are fairly straightforward. A known risk is something you know has the potential to happen. The term predictable outcomes implies you know with reasonable certainty what the impacts and outcomes of the risk events would be if they occu

12、rred. Unpredictable outcomes are impacts and consequences of the risk event that aren’t fully identified or known. Let’s use a simple example to explain each of these outcomes. You’ve decided to paint your garage door this weekend. One risk that could keep you from completing this project is the wea

13、ther. No problem—you cruise the Internet and check out the local forecast, which predicts clear and sunny skies, with little possibility of showers. You have the means to learn about the weather (the Internet site) and to determine the certainty of the impact (a 10 percent chance of showers). That m

14、eans you know, with predictable certainty, that this risk has a low chance of occurring. Known risks with uncertain outcomes are more difficult because, well, their outcomes aren’t certain. However, the amount of uncertainty could vary. You may, for example, know it’s going to rain but not know when

15、 it’ll start or how long it’ll continue. When you’re facing project risks with uncertain outcomes, I recommend learning everything you can about the risk and its possible impacts. (Since the impacts are unpredictable, this isn’t always possible.) You should interview stakeholders, research past proj

16、ects, and try to move as far from the uncertainty end of the spectrum as you can. The more you know, the better. The last bullet listed previously, unknown risks with unpredictable out- comes, says you don’t know about the risk and you don’t know about its impacts. It’s an unknown risk with an unkn

17、own outcome. Suppose you’re happily painting away and are three-quarters finished when a flock of geese happens to fly right over your house. You guessed it. An unknown risk with an unpredictable outcome has occurred. Many project decisions are made without benefit of knowing all the facts, and ri

18、sk analysis is no exception. Risk, after all, is primarily about uncertainty. Analyzing the risks tells you about the possible outcomes for the risk, and the response plan addresses how to deal with those outcomes. The greater your certainty of the outcome, the easier it will be to develop response

19、 plans. For example, if you know rain is a certainty on the day you’re planning on painting the garage, you can devise response plans that are fairly precise. You could postpone the painting to another day and sweep the garage floor instead. Or, perhaps you know with reasonable certainty that the r

20、ain is coming but won’t start until early afternoon. In that case, you could quickly paint the door in the morning while the sun is still out (or the clouds are rolling in) and then flip open the door so it’s protected by the garage ceiling until it dries. Purpose of Planning for Risks The purpose

21、 for risk planning is to determine the most appropriate response to reduce, control, or take advantage of the risk event. Along with determining the response, you’ll want to make certain you’re choosing the right strategy for the risk event. After determining the strategy to use, you’ll develop an a

22、ction plan to put this strategy into play should the risk event occur. The second purpose for risk planning is to determine a risk owner. I talked about risk owners and their responsibility in Chapter 2, “Identifying and Documenting Risks.” Once the plan is developed, the risk owner is the one held

23、 accountable for watching for risk triggers, tracking the risk, recommending the implementation of the response plan if the situation war-rants it, and then monitoring the effectiveness of the response plan once it’s implemented. Risk response planning also has an added benefit. When risk events do

24、 occur, you’ll be able to remain calm, cool, and levelheaded about what to do. Rather than reacting like our friend Ned, you’ll calmly reach for the response plan document and know what to do. When you’re in panic mode, the object is to resolve the problem as quickly as possible. That means you usu

25、ally deal with things the quickest and easiest way you can think of just to get everything under control. But getting immediate control doesn’t necessarily solve the problem in the long run. Response planning allows you determine the best method for dealing with a risk, which gives you a higher prob

26、ability of meeting your project goals. Risk Response Techniques You have several strategies for dealing with risk that help reduce or control the impacts of risk events. The most common strategies are as follows: * Avoidance * Transference * Mitigation * Acceptance * Contingency planning * In

27、dependent verification and validation Each of these techniques has its strengths and weaknesses. Before determining which strategy to use, make certain you understand the type of risk you’re dealing with, as well as the severity of the risk. You’ll want to choose the strategy that will be the most

28、effective and cost efficient for dealing with the risk event. If it costs you more to respond to the risk than the consequences of the risk itself, you may want to consider a different strategy. Avoidance You may have already guessed that the risk avoidance technique is about avoiding risk. True.

29、It encompasses more than that, however. Risk avoidance techniques include the following: * Avoiding the risk altogether * Eliminating the cause of the risk event * Changing the project plan to protect the objectives from the risk event Let’s look at some examples for each technique. Avoiding the

30、 risk altogether implies that you know the outcomes of the risk with relative certainty and can take steps to keep the risk event from occurring. Suppose Ned and the photo-shoot team are headed to the airport to catch their flight to Paris. In keeping with Ned’s usual manner, he has held everyone up

31、 to the last second. If they leave any later, they won’t have time to check the million pieces of luggage Ned is bringing and get through security in time to catch the flight. Sherry, the quick-thinking project manager, decides to do a traffic check before leaving. She logs onto the Internet and fin

32、ds there’s been a major accident on the highway they were planning on taking to the airport. To avoid delays and keep them from missing the flight, Sherry decides on an alternate route that bypasses the accident and avoids the risk event. Eliminating the cause of the risk is a technique that works

33、something like this. Sherry knows that the team’s luggage looks like every other piece of luggage they’re likely to see on an airport conveyor belt. The team is carrying some sensitive company information and a few pieces of specialized equipment. Sherry can eliminate the cause of this risk by carry

34、ing the company material and specialized equipment on board in their carry ones. One of the objectives of the photo assignment is to shoot pictures of Parisians doing everyday tasks—strolling through the park, eating at side-walk cafs, shopping, and so on—outside in the open air. A rainstorm pops u

35、p on the day this shoot is supposed to occur. Sherry changes the project plan by switching an indoor shooting day with the outdoor shooting day to protect the project objectives from the risk event. Avoidance is a great strategy when you can use it. The trouble is it isn’t appropriate for every ris

36、k, so let’s look at some more techniques. 定義風險應對計劃 你已經定義風險,分析了他們對項目的影響、分配的可能性和有影響的標準,決定期望中的標準,并且把他們按目的排列整齊。在考慮到所有條件的情況下，你決定哪個風險,需要應對計劃。這一章討論對應計劃的風險是什么,開發(fā)應對計劃的技術，和如何去寫那些關于出現可能性高，對項目影響大的風險的計劃，那就讓我們開始吧。 風險應對計劃 風險應對計劃是決定采取什么方法去演繹危險的程序(尤其是對進度和成本方面)當利用他的機會的時候，其他風險就顯現出來了。 通常,你會想要

37、開發(fā)哪些潛在的高概率和高影響的風險的風險應對計劃。它不是高效的去花費時間去寫那些不可能發(fā)生或者如果發(fā)生也不會影響項目重要性的風險的應對計劃。舉例來說,如果我建設一個旅游中心在莫哈韋沙漠中,我不會把時間花在一個可能下雨的風險的應對計劃上的（莫哈韋沙漠的每年平均降雨量僅為2.5英寸),所以這種風險確實可能存在著,但它幾乎不可能會影響我的項目。我會稍后在本章的“應急計劃”部分中處理這些類型的風險。 記住,風險管理的規(guī)劃,包括開發(fā)風險應對計劃,不是一次性的運動。當你通過項目的進行并且了解更多的潛在的風險事件的影響,你就會重新評估它們的影響,這可能要求改變戰(zhàn)略來解決這個風險和一個新的或是修正過的應對計

38、劃。盡管已經提前關注哪些可能阻止你達到項目目標的風險，但也不要忘記風險能產生機會。 不確定的確定性 有一件事是肯定的:你的項目有風險,如果你選擇去忽略它們,你的項目將有一個不確定的結果。所有的項目風險與信息及交流的可用性密切相關,或缺乏信息及交流,正如我一直在前面談論的一樣。你擁有的信息越多,就越有可能你能預測其風險事件及其帶來的影響。你越能更好的確定風險的影響，你就越能更好的創(chuàng)造風險引對計劃在考慮風險應對計劃時，注意風險的結果一般可以把它分為三大類: 已知風險為可預測結果的； 已知風險為不確定結果的； 未知風險為不可預知結果的； 這是相當明確的。一個已知的風險是那些你知道有可能發(fā)

39、生的事情。術語可預測的結果是指當某些風險發(fā)生時你可以通過一些原因來知道這些風險事件的影響和結果是什么。不可預知的結果是指那些風險事件的影響和結果不能被充分認識及了解。讓我們用一個簡單的例子,去解釋每一個這樣的結果。例如你決定在這個周末把你的車庫門重新刷一遍。其中一個可能阻礙你完成這個目的的風險便是天氣情況。沒有問題—你可以瀏覽網絡來查看一下當地的天氣預報,預報空氣清晰、天空晴朗,而陣雨的可能性很小。你有一些方法去學習關于天氣的知識(英特網網站)和確定影響的可能性(有百分之十的可能性下陣雨)。這意味著你知道,通過可預測的可能性,這樣的風險出現的機會很低。要知道不確定結果的風險更加困難,嗯,因為他

40、們的結果是不確定的。然而,不確定因素的數量是可能變化的。例如,你可能知道要下雨了,但不知道何時將會開始下雨和雨會持續(xù)多長時間。當你正在面對的是不確定結果的項目風險時,我建議你盡你最大力量去學習所有關于風險和其可能產生影響的知識。(因為影響是無法預料的，這并不總是有可能預料到的。)你應該同利益相關者見面，研究過去的項目,并盡可能從這些不確定結果的項目中得到相關信息。你知道的越多越好。 前面列出的最后一點,未知的并且不可預知結果的風險，是指你不知道某個風險并且不知道它會產生的影響。這是一個未知結果及不可預料到的風險。假設你正在快樂地刷車庫門，并且當一群鵝恰好飛過你的屋子時，你已完成了四分之三的工

41、作。你猜對了，一個能不提前知道的并且不可預知結果的風險已經發(fā)生了。 許多工程決策的制定都沒有從知道所有事實后這方面中受益，并且風險分析是沒有可以期望的。風險,畢竟,主要是關于不確定性。分析風險可以告訴你風險可能發(fā)生的結果,和應對計劃闡述怎樣處理這些結果。 你確定的結果可能性越多,就越容易開發(fā)風險應對計劃。例如,如果你知道在你刷車庫那天下雨是一個既定事實,你就可以相當準確的設計你的風險應對計劃。你可以推遲刷車庫到新的一天,而這天可以用打掃地板代替。 或者,也許你有理由的確定知道那天會下雨,但直到下午才會開始下雨。在這種情況下,在早上你要盡可能很快就把門刷完當天空依舊晴朗時(或云卷),然后向

42、里開門從而使門上的漆被屋頂保護，直到漆干了。 風險應對計劃的目的 風險規(guī)劃的目的是決定最恰當的反應來減少、控制、或者利用風險事件。隨著確定應對計劃,你會想要確保你對此風險事件選擇了正確的應對方法。之后在確定策略使用時,你要做出活動計劃來使這個策略發(fā)揮作用當風險事件發(fā)生的時候。 風險計劃的第二個目的是確定風險的所有者。我在第二章“辨識、記錄的風險?！敝幸呀浱岬斤L險擁有者及他們應負的責任。一旦計劃完成,風險的業(yè)主負責觀察風險的發(fā)生,跟蹤風險,如果出現風險發(fā)生的征兆時業(yè)主要建議實施應對計劃,并且一旦風險應對計劃實施要監(jiān)測它的有效性。 風險應對計劃也有一個額外的好處。當風險事情真的發(fā)生時,你就

43、能保持沉著,冷靜,及清醒的頭腦從而知道做什么。 而不是像我們的朋友-奈德那樣的反應,你會平靜地得到應對計劃文件,進而知道該怎么做。當你在恐慌模式時,這樣做的目的是為了盡可能快的解決這個問題。這意味著你通常通過你能想到的最快的最簡單的方式去處理事情，從而使你能讓每件事都在你的掌握之中。但是,在長遠的計劃中直接的控制不是必要的解決問題的方法。應對計劃允許你確定解決風險的最佳方法,這讓你有更高的幾率達到你項目的目標。 風險應對技術 你有幾個策略處理風險,它們有助于減少或控制風險事件的影響。最常見的策略是如下: 1、避免 2、轉移*緩解 3、接受 4、應急計劃 5、獨立的驗證和確認

44、每一種技術有其優(yōu)點和缺點。在決定使用哪個策略之前,你要確定你了解你正在處理的風險類型,以及風險的嚴重程度。你會想選擇處理這個風險事件最有效花費最高效的方法。如果它需要你比風險本身的結果花費更多成本,你可能要考慮一個不同的策略。 避免 你可能已經猜到我的風險防范技術是關于怎樣避免風險的。真的。它包括的不僅僅是那個,然而，風險規(guī)避技術包括下列事項: 避免隨之而來的風險 消除風險的起因事件 改變項目計劃, 來從風險事件中保護目標 讓我們來看一些各個技術的例子。完全避免風險意味著你知道結果風險的相對確實性,可以采取措施阻止風險事件的發(fā)生。假設奈德和球隊前往機場,搭乘航班去巴黎。為了保持奈德

45、自己平時的習慣,他已經提出了每個人都提高到最后一秒。如果他們離開哪怕晚一點點,他們就沒有時間來檢查內德帶來的萬件行李,并且還要經過安全檢查趕上那趟航班。雪莉是一個應急項目經理,決定在離開之前去做一個交通檢查。她登錄互聯網發(fā)現他們正計劃去機場的那個高速公路上有重大的事故。為了避免延遲和避免錯過這次航班,雪莉決定另選路線,避開這個事故從而避免了事故風險事件。 風險的消除是類似于這樣的一些技術性工作。雪莉知道，團隊的行李看起來很像在機場運輸帶上看到的某種行李。這個團隊會具有一些敏感的公司信息和幾件專業(yè)的設備。當在飛機上的時候，雪莉能夠通過使用隨身攜帶的公司材料和特殊設備來消除這些風險產生的原因。 這個照片的任務目的之一，就是拍攝巴黎人每天的所作所為，例如在公園散步、在；路邊的咖啡店吃東西、購物或者類似的其他戶外活動。當暴風雨突然來臨的時候，這樣的攝影就會被假定為會發(fā)生的。雪莉通過切換室內外當天拍攝的內容，來改變項目的計劃，從而在風險事件中保護項目目標。 當你能夠規(guī)避風險時，這是一個有效的辦法。麻煩的地方在于，它不是對每個風險都適用，所以，讓我們來一些更多的技術方法。
