In Quantitative Risk Analysis, PMBOK illustrates to use the larger EMV while Rita's book examples shows that the lower EMV is to be chosen as the best choice.

I understand it depends on the situation but it is somehow confusing, can someone please shed a light on this please. Thanks.

Based on my understanding of your post, in case of opportunity larger EMV and threat lower EMV. Hope the below link also helps.

Hi Vasi, Thanks a lot for your response. It was helpful.

However, please take a look at the decision tree example in the PMBOK, it is a mix of Opportunities and Threats and it was recommended to take the higher value which made me confused little bit.

Hi Rami,

i do agree that it is confusing, but as far as i can see it is because the example in PMBoK Guide (i do assume we are talking about the one at pg. 339) is about revenue (the more th ebtter) and the examples (both; at pg. 426 and before) in Rita's book are about costs (the less the better).
Does this make sense?

Regards,

Markus

Hi Markus,

Actually this is how I interpreted it and it was the only way that made sense to me. Hosever, the example in PMBOK doesn't clearly indicate that this is revenue because it is a combination of Threats and Opportunities.
