They are so named because the final chart appears to be one half of a tornado. Tornado diagrams are useful for sensitivity analysis comparing the relative importance of variables. The sensitive variable is modeled as uncertain value while all other variables are held at baseline values stable . Reference source PMBOK Guide Fourth Edition pg. 298 2005 pg. 257 .
