Risk Analysis teaches you to identify, assess, and mitigate risks before they become problems. Begin by using qualitative methods such as FMEA, Fault Tree Analysis, Affinity Diagrams, and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) for identifying potential issues, charting their causes, and prioritizing them appropriately.
