Risk Management

Definition: The act or practice of dealing with risk. Process used to plan for risk, assess (identify and analyze) risk areas, develop risk handling options, monitoring risks to determine how they have changed and documenting the overall risk program.

WHAT Do You Evaluate?

Risk Events are typically identified using one of three approaches:

Product based evaluations using WBS Process based evaluations using DoD 4245.7-M Scenario based evaluations

MONITOR & REPORTING ASSESSMENT

HANDLING

Page 11: Risk Management Hands-On Workshop Mark Fantasia DAU Performance Support (703)805-4990 mark.fantasia@dau.mil 4 October 2004

Product Based Evaluation

The WBS is an excellent basis for IPT assignments

If multiple problems involve specific functional areas, a process evaluation may be in order

Successful Product Developments

Are Anchored In Knowledge (GAO)

A knowledge-based approach makes it possible to develop more sophisticated products faster and less expensively than their predecessors.

Knowledge Point 1: At milestone B, a match is achieved between the user’s needs and the developer’s resources (indicator: technology readiness level).

Knowledge Point 2: At the design review, the product design demonstrates its ability to meet user needs and is stable (indicator: % of engineering drawings released).

Knowledge Point 3: At milestone C, it is demonstrated that the product can be produced within cost, schedule, and quality targets (indicator: % of key processes in statistical control).

How to write a risk statement

1. An IF - THEN type of risk statement.

2. A CONDITION - CONSEQUENCE risk statement. Given the “condition”, there is a likelihood that “consequence” will occur.

Page 23: Risk Management Hands-On Workshop Mark Fantasia DAU Performance Support (703)805-4990 mark.fantasia@dau.mil 4 October 2004

Sample of Statement 1

EXAMPLE: “If our one and only software engineer cannot work on the project for some reason, may cause a schedule delay.”

Page 24: Risk Management Hands-On Workshop Mark Fantasia DAU Performance Support (703)805-4990 mark.fantasia@dau.mil 4 October 2004

Sample of Statement 2

Condition; Consequence there is a possibility thatGiven the will occur

Condition: a single phrase that identifies possible future problems, and describes current key circumstances, situations, etc., that are causing concern, doubt, anxiety, or uneasiness

Consequence: a single phrase or sentence that describes the key negative outcome(s) of the current circumstances

EXAMPLEE: “Insufficient warning system volume output may cause delay in platform fielding.”

Likelihood and Impact Criteria Definition

The IPT needs to define the criteria for likelihood and impact for evaluating your project.

Likelihood Very Likely (Example: “expect this risk greater that one in

three chance to occur”)

Not Likely (Example: “expect this risk less than a one in three chance to occur”)

Impact (Criteria for Cost and/or schedule and/or performance and/or other programs)

Little Impact Big Impact

Page 35: Risk Management Hands-On Workshop Mark Fantasia DAU Performance Support (703)805-4990 mark.fantasia@dau.mil 4 October 2004

Risk Evaluation

Using your risk cards and your probability and impact criteria, short term and long term criteria and controllability criteria, mark the cards and sort on the boards.

Risk Handling Strategy #1CONTROL: Reduce Likelihood

DEFINITION: Lowering the probability of the risk event occurrence.

EXAMPLE: Providing a redundant

power supply for a computer system to increase overall system availability and reducing the number of downing events.

Risk Response Strategy #2CONTROL: Reduce Impact

DEFINITION: A method of controlling the risk event by softening the effect or impact should the risk event occur.

DEFINITION: Avoidance of the risk areas or sources that could possibly lead to the risk event.

EXAMPLE: Eliminate a requirement to build a subsystem because the technological risk is too high.

Risk Handling Strategy #4ASSUME

DEFINITION: Acknowledging a future risk event and accepting the potential consequences without any efforts to control it.

EXAMPLE:Only having “one deep” project team member and consciously not training a backup. ( Either too costly or not enough resources available.)

Risk Handling Strategy #5Transfer

DEFINITION: Reduction of risk exposure by reallocation of risk from one part of the system to another or redistributing risk between the Government and the prime contractor or between Government agencies. (Part of the functional allocation process)

EXAMPLE: The Marine Corps decides to have the Army as lead service to develop a new tracked recon vehicle.

Page 50: Risk Management Hands-On Workshop Mark Fantasia DAU Performance Support (703)805-4990 mark.fantasia@dau.mil 4 October 2004

Risk Management: Workarounds

When changes occur, review project risk plan.

Check risks along critical path. Check high risks outside of critical path. Check WBS. Involve all appropriate IPT members. Ensure program team has expertise

and/or resources to mitigate new risks.

Page 51: Risk Management Hands-On Workshop Mark Fantasia DAU Performance Support (703)805-4990 mark.fantasia@dau.mil 4 October 2004

WHEN TO REVIEW RISKS

High risks- weekly agenda items for team meetings

Medium risks – monthly reviews

Low risks – each milestone, large program changes, or when theRisk Plan is redone

Page 52: Risk Management Hands-On Workshop Mark Fantasia DAU Performance Support (703)805-4990 mark.fantasia@dau.mil 4 October 2004

Risk Documentation

Important to Document Lessons learned spread to other

programs Risk tracking

Many tools available such as Risk Radar or Risk Matrix

Easy to make up your own on on Excel, Access or Word

Page 53: Risk Management Hands-On Workshop Mark Fantasia DAU Performance Support (703)805-4990 mark.fantasia@dau.mil 4 October 2004

Risk Management: Deficiencies

Process weakly structured. Process too subjective. Risk likelihood overemphasized and impact

underemphasized. Risk plans unlinked to plans and milestones Resources not assigned for risk mitigation. Inadequate documentation. Not assessing overall program risk relative

to program opportunity.

Page 54: Risk Management Hands-On Workshop Mark Fantasia DAU Performance Support (703)805-4990 mark.fantasia@dau.mil 4 October 2004

CONCLUSION

Risk Management techniques can be applied in almost all areas of project management.

Budgets, Schedules, Requirements, Contracts – all interrelated to Risk Management Plan

RM techniques must be continuously and iteratively applied.

This is a team not an individual effort!
