INTERRELATIONSHIP DIGRAPH
What Is It
Interrelationship digraph is a method to identify
relationships among a set of items. Items that have a
cause or effect associated on another item are linked
together (and given weight) for the purpose of
identifying the items most affected or items affecting
other items the most, giving emphasis on those items
for risk mitigation planning. Items involved in risk
management could be risks being mitigated, risk
strategies, project activities or resources.
When To Use
Use this method
- With knowledgeable individuals to identify cause
and effect relationship and dependencies among risk
items.
- To identify items with the biggest effect (from
given weights) among the other items. These will be
the critical items that must be given priority in
risk mitigation planning.
- During Baseline
Planning to determine which risk areas need to be
dealt with first.
Benefits
This method fosters broad thinking of individuals to
identify interrelationships of risk items that affect
the whole project, determining critical risk areas that
must be dealt first and ensures efficient allocation of
project resources.
