scales will you use? You should also describe the priority level of risks that will
require a risk response and contingency plan.
Probability
Impact 2.4.2 Quantitative Risk Analysis
In this section, you are to describe how you will use Quantitative Risk Analysis to
conduct an analysis of potential risks to your project. You are to provide a
