Introduction to Risk Analysis

Risk Analysis is a powerful analytical tool that you can use to assess and identify risks within your Asta Powerproject projects. Risk Analysis helps you to create more accurate and attainable schedules that are more likely to be on time and within budget - ie projects that are more likely to succeed.

You can use Risk Analysis to analyse risk in any Asta Powerproject project. If you manage programmes of projects, you can choose to analyse risk across the entire programme or in discrete areas of the programme as required.

Risk Analysis identifies the tasks within your projects that are most likely to cause delays or cost overruns if they are allowed to slip, which enables you to identify those tasks that you need to monitor most closely. It also enables you to assess the likelihood of a project finishing on a particular date, of costing a certain amount or of generating a certain amount of income.
