Show each step of the process and the associated tables to depict the data. Your paper should do the following: Fully define and describe the steps of the risk driver method and the 3-point method. Compare and contrast each method giving pros and cons. Develop sample project cost estimates using a spreadsheet as well as discuss contingencies. Include a table with the following data to support your example: Project cost element table with associated 3-point estimates, mean, and variances. Total project standard deviation and total project mean. Discuss how to prioritize risks to cost, risk mitigation and schedule. Cumulative probability distribution (10%-90%) table for the total project cost.
