Title: Sound Transit’s New Developed Programmatic Risk Assessment Process

Speakers: Kamran Hazini PhD, PE & Craig DeLalla

TOPIC: Sound Transits New Developed Programmatic Risk Assessment Process

Quantitative risk assessment (QRA) is a numerical method to analyze risks and uncertainties and measure confidence in completing any given project within its approved schedule and budget. Project risks are a critical input to this analysis in which their probability and impacts are discussed during the workshops and included in the risk models. Although independent, concurrent projects may introduce risks especially for owner organizations, such as Sound Transit, executing several mega-projects. Excluding these program risks could potentially result in an inaccurate project level risk profile. Examples of such risks include shortage of shared critical resources for testing/startup, supply chain issues, operations staff hiring rates, multiple complex rail activation activities and lack of contractor/subcontractor/consultant capacity.

This presentation provides an overview of a new programmatic quantitative risk assessment initiative developed and executed in Sound Transit. This new approach adds an analysis of program risks to quantify the cascading impacts of concurrent delivery of EastLink, Downtown Redmond Link, Lynnwood Link, and Federal Way Link Extension projects.
