CQualitative
DMonte Carlo

Explanation

Monte Carlo simulation is a probabilistic risk analysis technique that runs thousands of simulated scenarios using variable inputs (such as team velocity ranges or task duration estimates) to produce a distribution of possible outcomes (e.g., project completion dates or cost ranges). Agile projects use Monte Carlo to quantify schedule and cost risk in a way that reflects real-world uncertainty. Regression is a statistical/testing term, Pareto is used for prioritization (80/20 rule), and Qualitative risk analysis ranks risks by likelihood and impact without numerical simulation.
