integration of prince2® and m o r® 1 john fisher
DESCRIPTION
If this presentation is of interest visit http://www.bpugcongress.com to find out when the next event is taking place. Presentation by: John Fisher - Director, UnconfuseU Ltd & Chief Examiner, M_o_R® Many people recognise PRINCE2® and M_o_R as sister products, coming from the same OGC /APM Group stable. This view however misses an important concept that this are not sister products but a marriage between two methodologies. Very little has been published on how these two different methodologies integrate. This presentation takes the very simple concept of a single project run under the PRINCE2 methodology and shows how M_o_R can be integrated to produce an all encompassing approach that manages risk in an effective and efficient way. The presentation discusses the current (2005) version of PRINCE2 and maps it across to M_o_R demonstrating several useful approaches that Project and Risk Managers can take. Using examples throughout, the audience will gain practical understanding of the power and ease as to how to join these two methods on their projects.TRANSCRIPT

The problems• MoR® is seen as completing the set of
three• PRINCE2™ light on risk management• PRINCE2™ projects still failing to manage
risk
![Page 4: Integration Of Prince2® And M O R® 1 John Fisher](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051816/546cfbd4b4af9f842c8b52c8/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Evidence• Delivering training in both PRINCE2™ and
MoR®• Marking MoR® Practitioner Papers• Reviewing many projects over many years• Role as Risk Manager• NAO Reports

1. Identifying the Context
![Page 7: Integration Of Prince2® And M O R® 1 John Fisher](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051816/546cfbd4b4af9f842c8b52c8/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

2. Risk Descriptions
![Page 10: Integration Of Prince2® And M O R® 1 John Fisher](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051816/546cfbd4b4af9f842c8b52c8/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Poor Risk Description
![Page 11: Integration Of Prince2® And M O R® 1 John Fisher](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051816/546cfbd4b4af9f842c8b52c8/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Preferred Approach• Risks should be described in a clear and
unambiguous way• The preferred approach is:
– Risk Cause (source of risk)– Risk Event (threat or opportunity)– Risk Effect (impact should it arise)
![Page 12: Integration Of Prince2® And M O R® 1 John Fisher](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051816/546cfbd4b4af9f842c8b52c8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Question• Is the following a well defined risk?
– Because of poor security vetting procedures– There is a risk that an inappropriate person is
employed– Which might mean that company secrets are
leaked to the press
So what?
![Page 13: Integration Of Prince2® And M O R® 1 John Fisher](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051816/546cfbd4b4af9f842c8b52c8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Why is this Important?• Description linked to mitigation actions• Options include:
– Remove the cause– Reduce (threat) or maximise (opportunity) the
likelihood of the event – Reduce the effect (impact)
![Page 14: Integration Of Prince2® And M O R® 1 John Fisher](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051816/546cfbd4b4af9f842c8b52c8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
3. Estimating for risk
![Page 15: Integration Of Prince2® And M O R® 1 John Fisher](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051816/546cfbd4b4af9f842c8b52c8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Probability and Impact• Projects don’t always define the estimation
scoring• Qualitative assessment means different
view points and therefore different scores• What do you really mean when you say a
risk has a “medium probability”?
![Page 16: Integration Of Prince2® And M O R® 1 John Fisher](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051816/546cfbd4b4af9f842c8b52c8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Measuring Probability
Probability Criteria
Very Low Virtually impossible: 0 – 5% Low Low but not impossible: 6 – 25%
Very High > 75%High More likely to occur than not: 51%- 75%Medium Fairly likely to occur: 26 – 50%

Different Impacts• Some risks will have an
impact on one or more of:– Cost– Time– Resources– Quality – Scope– Benefits– Security
• Need to consider multiple impacts.
![Page 18: Integration Of Prince2® And M O R® 1 John Fisher](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051816/546cfbd4b4af9f842c8b52c8/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
4. Appetite and Tolerance
![Page 19: Integration Of Prince2® And M O R® 1 John Fisher](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051816/546cfbd4b4af9f842c8b52c8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Appetite and Tolerance – The Difference
• Risk Appetite:– Attitude towards risk taking– Willingness to tolerate a situation– What is and what is not acceptable
• Tolerance– Levels of exposure which when exceeded
trigger a response– How bad does it have to be before I escalate?
![Page 20: Integration Of Prince2® And M O R® 1 John Fisher](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051816/546cfbd4b4af9f842c8b52c8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Appetite and Tolerance Summary
Corporate or Programme
Management
Project Board
Project Manager
Appetite – 20 days delay
Tolerance – 15 days delay
Tolerance – 10 days delay
![Page 21: Integration Of Prince2® And M O R® 1 John Fisher](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051816/546cfbd4b4af9f842c8b52c8/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
5. Aggregated Risk
![Page 22: Integration Of Prince2® And M O R® 1 John Fisher](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051816/546cfbd4b4af9f842c8b52c8/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
What is Aggregation?• Aggregation is the net effect of the threat
and opportunity assessments when combined together
• In other words “what if several risks materialise at the same time”?
• PRINCE2™ doesn’t consider this eventuality
![Page 23: Integration Of Prince2® And M O R® 1 John Fisher](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051816/546cfbd4b4af9f842c8b52c8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Example• The project has identified 3 risks causing delay to
the project:– Risk 3 – an additional 5 days for user training– Risk 7 – extra 4 day delay to training due to staff
sickness– Risk 12 – delay of 10 days due to staff unavailability
for training because of operational needs• If Project Board Risk Tolerance is 15 days,
aggregated risk exceeds this.
![Page 24: Integration Of Prince2® And M O R® 1 John Fisher](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051816/546cfbd4b4af9f842c8b52c8/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
6. Risk Owners
![Page 25: Integration Of Prince2® And M O R® 1 John Fisher](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051816/546cfbd4b4af9f842c8b52c8/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Different Definitions• PRINCE2™:
– Risk owner should be the best person to keep an eye on the risk
• MoR®:– named individual who is responsible for the
management and control of all aspects of the risks assigned to them, including the implementation of the selected actions to address the threats or to maximise the opportunities.
![Page 26: Integration Of Prince2® And M O R® 1 John Fisher](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051816/546cfbd4b4af9f842c8b52c8/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
7. Mitigation Actions
![Page 27: Integration Of Prince2® And M O R® 1 John Fisher](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051816/546cfbd4b4af9f842c8b52c8/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Choosing What to do• Prevent – Remove the cause• Reduce – Carry out an action to reduce the
probability and or impact of the risk• Accept – The risk is below the agreed risk
appetite for the risk• Contingency – Carry out an action to reduce
the impact of the risk when it occurs
![Page 28: Integration Of Prince2® And M O R® 1 John Fisher](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051816/546cfbd4b4af9f842c8b52c8/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Transference• You can only transfer the financial aspects
of a risk• Giving the risk to someone else isn’t
necessarily transferring the risk• Common transference actions include
penalty clauses and insurance
![Page 29: Integration Of Prince2® And M O R® 1 John Fisher](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051816/546cfbd4b4af9f842c8b52c8/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

8. Reporting Risk
![Page 33: Integration Of Prince2® And M O R® 1 John Fisher](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051816/546cfbd4b4af9f842c8b52c8/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
No Risk Reporting in PRINCE2™?
• PRINCE2™ reports don’t have risk in their Annex A Product Descriptions
• Risk reporting can be integrated into Checkpoint or Highlight Reports
• Standard measures include:– Summary Risk Profiles – Dashboard metrics
![Page 34: Integration Of Prince2® And M O R® 1 John Fisher](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051816/546cfbd4b4af9f842c8b52c8/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Possible Reporting Mechanisms• Dashboard Metrics:
– New risks this period– Closed risks this period– BRAG Totals:
• Black 2• Red 8• Amber 15• Green 1
– Trend Summary (number rising, falling or neutral)
![Page 35: Integration Of Prince2® And M O R® 1 John Fisher](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051816/546cfbd4b4af9f842c8b52c8/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
9. Learn the Lessons
![Page 36: Integration Of Prince2® And M O R® 1 John Fisher](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051816/546cfbd4b4af9f842c8b52c8/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Experience is the Best Teacher• What do you do:
– When a risk materialises that you didn’t identify?
– A mitigation didn’t work?– Risk owners don’t own the risk?
![Page 37: Integration Of Prince2® And M O R® 1 John Fisher](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051816/546cfbd4b4af9f842c8b52c8/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Lessons Learned Log• Make sure you review what happened and
document it• Make changes to your risk management
processes if they aren’t working• Carry out regular risk Healthchecks• Formal update in SB5 Reporting Stage
End – but don’t wait that long if its urgent!
![Page 38: Integration Of Prince2® And M O R® 1 John Fisher](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051816/546cfbd4b4af9f842c8b52c8/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
10. Manage Risk
![Page 39: Integration Of Prince2® And M O R® 1 John Fisher](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051816/546cfbd4b4af9f842c8b52c8/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
The Missing Piece• Many projects:
– Have a Risk Log– Populate the Risk Log with output from risk
workshops– Define good risks and mitigation actions– Totally ignore risks until the next Project
Board meeting
![Page 40: Integration Of Prince2® And M O R® 1 John Fisher](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051816/546cfbd4b4af9f842c8b52c8/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Missed Opportunities to Review Risks
• Risk should be reviewed throughout:– Planning– Controlling a Stage– Managing Product Delivery– Stage Boundaries– Directing a Project
![Page 41: Integration Of Prince2® And M O R® 1 John Fisher](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051816/546cfbd4b4af9f842c8b52c8/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
