In What-If Analyses or scenario analyses  various future scenarios can be created and their effects can be considered in order to provide recommendations on the best action to take and find the best decisions. The what-if analysis is a very good method to compare different solutions with one another and assess the risks involved in each. When comparing different solution approaches, scenarios and KPIs can be determined which support decision-making processes. With risk analysis, it is easier to estimate the potential risks and their impacts.
