Managing Project Risk Using the Voice of the Team (VoT) and Text Analytics

By Dr. John Aaron

 

Dr. John Aaron demonstrates a formalized method of managing risks on projects by routinely soliciting risk statements from project team members. This approach relies heavily on text analytics. It is proven to be an effective method for project managers to stay ahead of emerging risks on complex projects.
This session shows how text analysis using Wordstat can make this kind of information useful and actionable and provides a deep dive at a particular project by showing how the statistical weight of evidence can be calculated to give the earliest possible (yet reliable) indicator that a project is in jeopardy and requires corrective/preventative action.
