NetRisk Reviews

NetRisk Description

In NetRisk, the likelihood of a risk occurring can be independent among the activities it is associated with, and it may even vary across those activities. This distinction allows for a more accurate representation of risk responses, particularly for activities that are planned years apart or located at different project sites. The automated risk sensitivity analysis feature in NetRisk continuously re-evaluates the entire simulation by systematically excluding the risk that poses the greatest threat. This process generates a tornado chart that details the precise number of days each risk influences the project's completion timeline. Unlike CPM risk analysis, which assumes early starts for all activities, NetRisk realistically accounts for the use of float, leading to a more accurate assessment of completion probabilities. By permitting activities that are not on the critical path to begin later, NetRisk can effectively model scenarios for resource optimization, pacing of progress, or other strategic considerations, ultimately resulting in a more dependable project model. This level of analysis enables project managers to make more informed decisions about risk management and resource allocation.
