Risk Management Methods start with Risk Screening. Starting from categorizing them from High Impact and High probability, risks are analyzed using a number of methods.

The PDRI(Project Definition Rating Index) is used in front-end project planning to help the project team assess project scope definition, identify risk elements, and subsequently develop mitigation plans. It includes detailed descriptions of issues and a weighted checklist of project scope definition elements to jog the memory of project team participants. It provides the means to assess risk at various stages during the front-end project planning process and to focus efforts on high-risk areas that need additional definition.
