EMV allows you to quantify risk in financial terms, making it easier to prioritize risk responses. Here's how I use it:

  • List potential risks and outcomes - Identify important risks and their financial consequences.

  • Assign probabilities - Determine the chance of each danger occurring.

  • Calculate EMV for each risk using the following formula:

    EMV=(Probability of Risk)×(Financial Impact)
    Example: If a project delay has a 30% chance of occurring and will cost $50,000, the EMV is: 
                                                0.30 × 50,000= 15,000
  • Prioritize Risks - Higher EMV risks receive more attention in mitigation plans.

  • Use for Contingency Budgeting - The total EMV of all hazards aids in the determination of an appropriate contingency reserve.

EMV offers a straightforward approach to balancing risks against potential returns, resulting in better decision-making.
