6. Risk Vs Schedule
• Realistic /Most Likely
• Aggressive / Optimistic
• Cautious / Pessimistic
• Scale to Fit

7. Types of Risks
• Uncertainty
– PERT Master handles uncertainty by using three point
estimate distributions minimum, most likely and maximum
• Risk Events
– PERT Master handles risk events by using risk register to
enter possible events along with estimates of each one’s
probability and potential impacts on duration, cost and
project quality
Uncertainty + Risk Events = Total Risk Exposure
