Abstract: A computer-implemented method of performing a risk analysis for a project is described. The computer-implemented method includes, generating, in a hierarchical database, a plurality of area checklists in the form of documents, wherein each area checklist has at least one input field into which data is input. Next, the data from the hierarchical database is exported to a relational database. After completion of the exporting step, the relational database is accessed, and the risk analysis is performed on the data that has been exported into the relational database. The risk analysis results of the project are then outputted.
