Dear Friends,

In my project management course, Project Management: Tools, Principles, Practices, I teach risk management. To do this, you look at the probability of a risk happening, the severity of the impact should it occur, and the ability to detect it ahead of time. Each of these assessments is assigned a number between 1 and 10, and the three of them are multiplied to get a Risk Priority Number. You then rank them and deal with the highest ranks first. 

In another class, we do a personal values assessment, identifying up to 10 values a person has and we then rank them, so that we know the top three or four that will be important to consider in making life decisions.

It can be difficult and time-consuming to rank big lists, not to say hard to decide if an item is 8 or 9 (for example). With paired-comparisons, this becomes extremely easy. To simplify it, I created a ranking matrix using Excel, and people in my classes loved it. One fellow wrote me yearly for five years raving about how useful the spreadsheet had been for him. 

Now you can get a copy. It's only $9.95, with instructions on how to use it. (You can duplicate it with no difficulty, but the time it takes will probably cost you far more than the $9.95 I'm charging. Save yourself the aggravation and buy my spreadsheet. When you pay on checkout, you will receive a download link together with information on how to use the spreadsheet. Thanks for your order in advance.
