Why each option
The Plan Procurements process relies on make-or-buy analysis, expert judgment, and contract types to determine acquisition needs and terms. The probability and impact matrix is a risk management tool, not a procurement tool.
Contract types (fixed-price, cost-reimbursable, time-and-material) are a core tool of Plan Procurements used to define terms, risk allocation, and obligations in procurement agreements.
Expert judgment is applied in Plan Procurements to evaluate market conditions, contract types, and procurement risks using input from subject matter experts.
The probability and impact matrix is a tool of the Perform Qualitative Risk Analysis process within Project Risk Management, not of Plan Procurements.
Make-or-buy analysis is a fundamental Plan Procurements technique that determines whether project needs should be fulfilled by internal resources or purchased from an external vendor.
