Explanation

Sensitivity analysis is the technique that studies how uncertainty in the output of a mathematical model can be attributed (qualitatively or quantitatively) to different sources of variation in the model's inputs. In project risk management, it is commonly visualized using a tornado diagram, which ranks risks by their relative impact on project objectives. It helps project managers understand which risks have the most influence on the project outcome by varying one input at a time while holding others constant, allowing prioritization of the most impactful uncertainties.
