Two ways to determine how risky a project is at a glance (even before Risk Identification and Analysis) using the Schedule and Network Diagram

1. The number of critical paths: the higher the number, the riskier a project is


2. Path Convergence: the points at which multiple activities converge into or out of a single activity shows risk. That is activities with either or both multiple predecessors or successors.

The higher the multiplicity of convergence and the overall number of occurrences of convergences, the riskier the project.



Do you know any other method?

Certainly Shimonkepha, my observation was a complementary method mainly used at the conceptualization stage of a project because there are many ways to identify them.
