Enhancements :
• Unique Process, Delivery Method, Location, Packaging, Tech Support , Delivery , Warranty , Payment Terms .
Product/Service Plan IIIProduct or Service Strategy :
What is the extend of the product/service mix ?
What will be introduced initially ? 3 years ? Five years ?
Show your Evidence .
Milestones of Development .
Differentiation ( Bundling , Warranty , Packages , Price Matrix ... etc .
Product/Service Plan IV
Benefits to the Customer Easier to use , delivery on time , used based on demand , quality , durability , appearance . Are the customers aware of these benefits ? Are they really benefits ?
Market and Industry Analysis
Objective : Prove that there is an Opportunity . No passion , just data . No mention of your business. You should be able to Validate the need for your product/service .
Market AnalysisHow Large is your market ?
Large ? Number of Products/ Services Or Customers
Growing ? The Growth Rate
Segmentation ? Trends and Opportunities?
Market Analysis IIAddressable Market
You can target various sectors and various segments . Usually, Capturing the entire market is hard . Example : Consumer Products .
Market Analysis III
Entry Point : Based on your Segmentation , Choose your Entry Point . However, Do they really need your Product/Service ? Do They Understand the Benefits ? What Future Segments Would Join ? Why ?
Market Analysis Process

Industry Organization What are the goods ? Where are they produced ?Supply Chain ?How do your competitors see themselves ?
Competitive Environment How do they compete ? Service ? Quality ? Price ? Technology ? Customer Support ? Highly Competitive ? Price based ? Profit Margins ? Net Profit Margins ? How do they deal with new comers ?
Industry Analysis IIBarriers to Entry
Legal ? Economy of Scale ? Customer Loyalty ? Agreements with Suppliers ? Control of Distribution Channels ? High Cost of Entry ? Social Conventions ?
Industry Analysis IIIControl
How much control do you have over : Prices , Costs , Channels of Distribution , Buying your way in .
Competition Direct Indirect Future
Financial Analysis
Objective : Project your Revenues and calculate key Ratios . Method : Excel Modeling
Risk Management
OutlineRisk Concepts
Risk Management:
Risk identification
Risk Analysis (Qualitative and Quantitative)
Risk Response Planning
Risk Monitoring and Control
Risk Management Techniques
PERT, Mont Carlo Simulation, Decision Trees,...
Sample Applications
Concepts
Risk: The possibility of suffering loss (or harm) and the impact of that loss on the involved party. Risk can be characterized in terms of its Severity where:
Severity = Likelihood of Occurrence x Magnitude of the Impact.
Risk: Any event which is likely to affect (adversely) the ability of project to achieve the defined objectives.
Concepts II
Risk: A measure of the probability and consequence of not achieving a defined project goal (Kerzner 2001).
Risk=ƒ[Si,Pi,C] i=1,2,3,......Si: is a scenario of events that lead to hazard exposure (unwanted change);Pi: is the likelihood of scenario i; andCi: is the consequence of scenario.
Risk = ƒ [hazard, safeguard]! Risk increases with hazard but decreases with safeguard.
Concepts III
Opportunity: The possibility of realizing a favorable outcome and the impact this outcome has on the involved party. Opportunity is positive risk and can be identified and managed in a similar way.
Uncertainty: The gap between the information required to estimate an outcome and the information already possessed by the decision maker.
Concepts IV
Risk Analysis: The process of identifying risk factors and the quantification of those factors (estimating likelihood and magnitude of impacts).
Risk Mitigation: The process of developing a plan to respond or deal with risk on a project.
Why Risk Analysis ?
1. Minimize management by crisis 2. Minimize surprises and problems 3. Increase probability of project success 4. Better handling of true costs and schedules by properly estimating
contingencies...
Risk ManagementDefinition: RM is the act or practice of dealing with risk. It is the process by which risks to the project (e.g., to the scope, deliverables, schedule, resources,...) are formally managed during the project.
Processes: RM includes planning for risk, identifying and analyzing risk, developing risk handling options, and monitoring risks to determine how risks have changed.
Goal: minimizing potential risks while maximizing potential opportunities and if properly conducted, reducing not only the likelihood of an occurred event, but also the magnitude of its impact.
Characteristics of Risk
1. For risk to be an issue, the event and/or its outcome must be associated with a certain degree of uncertainty (the possibility).
2. In practice it is virtually impossible to avoid all risks. 3. Risks can be reduced and sometimes transferred (e.g. through
contracts, financial agreements, allowances, insurance policies).
Potential Risks and Knowledge Areas
Knowledge Area Potential risks
Scope Poor definition of scope or work packages; incomplete definitions of quality requirements; inadequate scope control.
Time Errors in estimating time or resource availability; poor allocation and management of float; early release of competitive product.
Cost Estimating errors; inadequate productivity, cost, change, or contingency control; poor maintenance, security, purchasing,...etc.
Quality Poor attitude toward quality; substandard; design / materials / workmanship; inadequate quality assurance program.
Communication Carelessness in planning or communication; lack of consultation with key stakeholders.
Risk Ignoring risk; unclear assignment of risk; poor insurance management.
Process of Risk ManagementGenerally involves the following steps: 1. Risk Management Planning
2. Risk Identification
3. Risk Analysis :
Qualitative & Quantitative.
4. Risk Response Planning
5. Risk Monitoring and Control
1- Risk Management PlanningDeciding how to approach, plan and execute the risk management activities for a project.
Output: Risk Management PlanDescribes how risk management will be structured and performed in the project. It includes:
Methodology.
Roles & responsibilities.
Budgeting.
Timing.
Risk categories .
Definition of risk Probability & impact.
Probability and impact matrix.
Revised stakeholders tolerance.
Reporting formats.
Tracking.
2- Risk IdentificationDetermining which risks might affect the project and determining their characteristics.
Example :
Inflation Rate
Tax Increase
Technical Error
........
3- Qualitative Risk AnalysisPrioritizing risks for further analysis by assessing and combining their probability of occurrence & impact.
Using Surveys to Classify the Risks Based on Their Severity .
What is Severity ? It is the Product of the Probability and The Impact
What is the Impact ?
Given in the Following Table :
S<=0.05 0.05<S<-0.1 0.1<S<= 0.3 0.3<S<=0.5 S>0.7
0% 2.5% 7.5% 15% 30%
3- Qualitative Risk Analysis IIOutput :
4- Quantitative Risk AnalysisNumerically analyzing the effect of identified risks on overall project objectives.
The objective is to get the numerical value of risk .
How ?
Through Surveys , Surveys quantify how probable the event is to occur and what is the impact of its occurrence on the business .
Probability ?
Probability Distributions .
Simulate Answers .
Probability Distributions IIn probability and statistics, a probability distribution assigns a probability to each of the possible outcomes of a random experiment. Examples : Random , Poisson , Kai ... Etc
Simulate Answers .
With computer packages ( Crystal Ball , now you can use the answers of your surveys to fit a probability distribution and simulate an unlimited amount of answers . Thus, Converging to the true risk figure .
4- Quantitative Risk Analysis
Risks Estimated Cost
Exchange Rate

Imports 100,000 0.3 0.3 Probability * Impact
If S<0.05 Then ) * Estimated Cost
OR ...... If Statements
Operations 500,000 0.2 0.1 Probability * Impact
If S<0.05 Then ) * Estimated Cost
OR ...... If Statements
Outputs 800,000 0.4 0.15 Probability * Impact
If S<0.05 Then ) * Estimated Cost
OR ...... If Statements
Based on Surveys Remember the Table ?

5- Risk Response PlanningDeveloping options and actions to enhance opportunities and reduce threats.
Tools and Techniques :
Avoid : Change Scope
Transfer : Insurance , Warranties , Guarantees
Mitigate : using less complex process, conducting more tests or choosing more stable suppliers
Acceptance .
6- Risk Monitoring and Control
Tracing identified risks, monitoring residual risks, identifying new risks, executing risk response plans, and evaluating their effectiveness throughout the project life.
