Explanation
A Tornado diagram is the standard output of sensitivity analysis in quantitative risk analysis. It ranks risk variables by their potential impact on a project objective (typically cost or schedule), with the variable having the greatest range of uncertainty displayed at the top and the least at the bottom - creating the funnel shape resembling a tornado. Fishbone (Ishikawa) and Cause-and-Effect diagrams identify root causes of problems. Influence diagrams show relationships and causal flow between variables but do not display sensitivity analysis results specifically.
