Conduct a sensitivity and a scenario analysis of the project. What do these analyses reveal about the project’s risks and potential value?

Sensitivity Analysis: Sensitivity analysis is a tool used to evaluate the effect of changes in input assumptions on the predicted outcome of a project. It helps identify those variables that have the greatest impact and therefore should be given the most attention during planning and execution. Through sensitivity analysis, one can determine what kind of risks are associated with various outcomes, as well as how likely they are to happen.

Scenario Analysis: Scenario analysis is another way to assess risk in projects. This type of analysis evaluates multiple possible scenarios and their outcomes based on varying assumptions or conditions. By compiling different potential paths for the project, it enables managers to identify which ones pose the highest risk, so appropriate strategies can be implemented to mitigate them ahead of time. The insights provided by scenario analysis also allow decision makers to make better informed decisions about overall strategy and resource allocation for optimal performance and value creation.

These analyses reveal that there are risks inherent in any project due to uncertainty surrounding certain factors affecting its outcome such as market dynamics or unforeseen events outside of one’s control. However, understanding these risks through sensitivity and scenario analyses allows companies to take proactive steps towards mitigating these issues before they become major problems influencing results negatively thus optimizing resource usage while maximizing value created from projects.
