What is sensitivity analysis?

Sensitivity analysis is a method of assessing how changes in the input parameters of a project or model affect the final outcome. In project management, it helps to understand which factors have the greatest impact on timelines, costs, or quality, and to identify risks.

For example, if there is uncertainty about the duration of a task in a project, sensitivity analysis will show how much this change will affect the overall schedule. This allows focusing on the most critical parameters and taking measures to reduce risks.
