Risk Analysis And Management Cost Risk analysis is intended to forecast the amount of uncertainties involved in the cost estimate of future projects. If the risk is identified and qualified than efforts can be made to successfully deal with the impact of them occurring. The aim of risk management is to reduce the negative impact of risk in a project and reduce uncertainties. ď‚—
Conclusion: Cost is a very important factor of success within the industry and cost estimating and cost management is necessary to the survival of leading companies. Several big companies use this technique to get the growth in today’s competitive scenario. It helps to deliver the project, in giving time and budget. 
