Methodology & Frameworks

Three-Tier Analysis Approach

Tier 1: Portfolio Health Assessment

Uses project_health_dashboard.py to provide comprehensive multi-dimensional scoring:

python3 scripts/project_health_dashboard.py assets/sample_project_data.json

Health Dimensions (Weighted Scoring):

• Timeline Performance (25% weight): Schedule adherence, milestone achievement, critical path analysis

• Budget Management (25% weight): Spend variance, forecast accuracy, cost efficiency metrics

• Scope Delivery (20% weight): Feature completion rates, requirement satisfaction, change control

• Quality Metrics (20% weight): Code coverage, defect density, technical debt, security posture

• Risk Exposure (10% weight): Risk score, mitigation effectiveness, exposure trends

RAG Status Calculation:

• 🟢 Green: Composite score >80, all dimensions >60

• 🟡 Amber: Composite score 60-80, or any dimension 40-60

• 🔴 Red: Composite score <60, or any dimension <40

Tier 2: Risk Matrix &#x26; Mitigation Strategy

Leverages risk_matrix_analyzer.py for quantitative risk assessment:

python3 scripts/risk_matrix_analyzer.py assets/sample_project_data.json

Risk Quantification Process:

• Probability Assessment (1-5 scale): Historical data, expert judgment, Monte Carlo inputs

• Impact Analysis (1-5 scale): Financial, schedule, quality, and strategic impact vectors

• Category Weighting: Technical (1.2x), Resource (1.1x), Financial (1.4x), Schedule (1.0x)

• EMV Calculation:

# EMV and risk-adjusted budget calculation

def calculate_emv(risks):

    category_weights = {"Technical": 1.2, "Resource": 1.1, "Financial": 1.4, "Schedule": 1.0}

    total_emv = 0

    for risk in risks:

        score = risk["probability"] * risk["impact"] * category_weights[risk["category"]]

        emv = risk["probability"] * risk["financial_impact"]

        total_emv += emv

        risk["score"] = score

    return total_emv

def risk_adjusted_budget(base_budget, portfolio_risk_score, risk_tolerance_factor):

    risk_premium = portfolio_risk_score * risk_tolerance_factor

    return base_budget * (1 + risk_premium)

Risk Response Strategies (by score threshold):

• Avoid (>18): Eliminate through scope/approach changes

• Mitigate (12-18): Reduce probability or impact through active intervention

• Transfer (8-12): Insurance, contracts, partnerships

• Accept (<8): Monitor with contingency planning

Tier 3: Resource Capacity Optimization

Employs resource_capacity_planner.py for portfolio resource analysis:

python3 scripts/resource_capacity_planner.py assets/sample_project_data.json

Capacity Analysis Framework:

• Utilization Optimization: Target 70-85% for sustainable productivity

• Skill Matching: Algorithm-based resource allocation to maximize efficiency

• Bottleneck Identification: Critical path resource constraints across portfolio

• Scenario Planning: What-if analysis for resource reallocation strategies

Advanced Prioritization Models

Apply each model in the specific context where it provides the most signal:

Weighted Shortest Job First (WSJF) — Resource-constrained agile portfolios with quantifiable cost-of-delay

def wsjf(user_value, time_criticality, risk_reduction, job_size):

    return (user_value + time_criticality + risk_reduction) / job_size

RICE — Customer-facing initiatives where reach metrics are quantifiable

def rice(reach, impact, confidence_pct, effort_person_months):

    return (reach * impact * (confidence_pct / 100)) / effort_person_months

ICE — Rapid prioritization during brainstorming or when analysis time is limited

def ice(impact, confidence, ease):

    return (impact + confidence + ease) / 3

Model Selection — Use this decision logic:

if resource_constrained and agile_methodology and cost_of_delay_quantifiable:

    → WSJF

elif customer_facing and reach_metrics_available:

    → RICE

elif quick_prioritization_needed or ideation_phase:

    → ICE

elif multiple_stakeholder_groups_with_differing_priorities:

    → MoSCoW

elif complex_tradeoffs_across_incommensurable_criteria:

    → Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA)

Risk Management Framework

Reference: references/risk-management-framework.md

Step 1: Risk Classification by Category

• Technical: Architecture, integration, performance

• Resource: Availability, skills, retention

• Schedule: Dependencies, critical path, external factors

• Financial: Budget overruns, currency, economic factors

• Business: Market changes, competitive pressure, strategic shifts

Step 2: Three-Point Estimation for Monte Carlo Inputs

def three_point_estimate(optimistic, most_likely, pessimistic):

    expected = (optimistic + 4 * most_likely + pessimistic) / 6

    std_dev = (pessimistic - optimistic) / 6

    return expected, std_dev

Step 3: Portfolio Risk Correlation

import math

def portfolio_risk(individual_risks, correlations):

    # individual_risks: list of risk EMV values

    # correlations: list of (i, j, corr_coefficient) tuples

    sum_sq = sum(r**2 for r in individual_risks)

    sum_corr = sum(2 * c * individual_risks[i] * individual_risks[j]

                   for i, j, c in correlations)

    return math.sqrt(sum_sq + sum_corr)

Risk Appetite Framework:

• Conservative: Risk scores 0-8, 25-30% contingency reserves

• Moderate: Risk scores 8-15, 15-20% contingency reserves

• Aggressive: Risk scores 15+, 10-15% contingency reserves
