Qualitative risk analysis is the application of methods for ranking the identified risks according to their potential effect on project objectives. This process prioritizes risks according to their potential effect on project objectives. Qualitative risk analysis is one way of determining the importance of addressing specific risks and guides risk response measures
Definitions of the levels for probability and impact and expert opinion help correct biases in the data used in qualitative analysis. Qualitative risk analysis should be reviewed during the project’s life cycle to stay current with changes in project risks. The process can lead to further analysis in quantitative risk analysis or directly to risk response planning.
Qualitative risk analysis is the process of assessing the likelihood and impact of identified risks and prioritizing them according to their potential effect on project objectives. This process id accomplished using established qualitative methods and tools. The purpose is to help the project team focus on high priority risk and also to lay the foundation for quantitative analysis should it be needed. Qualitative analysis takes relatively less time and is less expensive to perform when compared to quantitative analysis.
Qualitative risk analysis is one way to determine the importance of addressing specific risks and guiding risk responses. The time-criticality of risk-related actions may magnify the importance of a risk. An evaluation of the quality of the available information also helps modify the assessment of the risk. Qualitative risk analysis requires that the probability and consequences of the risks be evaluated using established qualitative-analysis methods and tools. Trends in the results when qualitative analysis is repeated can indicate the need for more or less risk-management action. Use of these tools helps correct biases that are often present in a project plan. Qualitative risk
