In the tool, you will find different categories of risk associated with different Project Delivery Method Criteria (PDMC). The risk levels were established using various statistical criteria, such as the Pearson correlation coefficient, p-value, and residual standard error (RSE). The low, low-moderate, high, and high-moderate risk categories demonstrate statistical significance (with a p-value of less than 0.05) and varying degrees of RSE. Any DMPCs that do not fit into the aforementioned categories are categorized as unpredictable risk.
The risk categories are defined as follows:
Low risk: The alignment between the owner’s Decision-making Profile Characteristic and the Project Delivery Method Criteria show that few tension points exist that may lead to negative project outcomes. In general, the DMPC and PRMC are well-aligned.
Low-moderate risk: The alignment between the owner’s Decision-making Profile Characteristic and the Project Delivery Method Criteria show that owners should be aware of and track certain risk associated with this relationship, although there is still alignment.
High-moderate risk: The alignment between the owner’s Decision-making Profile Characteristic and the Project Delivery Method Criteria show that owners should be aware of and track certain risk associated with this relationship, as these points are not aligned.
High risk: The alignment between the owner’s Decision-making Profile Characteristic and the Project Delivery Method Criteria where strong tension points exist that are likely to lead to negative project outcomes if not addressed properly by the owner organization.
Unpredictable risk: The alignment between the owner’s Decision-making Profile Characteristics and the Project Delivery Method Criteria is mixed. Outcomes vary widely. Owners should discuss potential risks with project teams.
