Adopt Continuous
Program Risk Management
- Do you have a documented Risk Management Plan? If so, was
this plan tailored to the unique features of this project?
- Are risks identified by people on the project who have hands-on
involvement in the risk area?
- Which of the currently identified risks will transition into
a problem latest in the life cycle if it does transition into
a problem?
- What is your number one technical risk?
- What is your number one risk due to some external dependency over which you have no control?
- What is your number one risk for software maintenance?
- What is your number one staffing risk?
- What is your number one cost or schedule risk?
- Are there any high risks related to computer network capacity? If so, describe these risks.
- Are there any high software risks related to meeting security requirements? If so, describe these risks.
- Are there any high safety risks because of software? If so, describe these risks.
- Are there any high cost or schedule risks related to reuse of COTS, GOTS, or legacy source code? If so, describe these risks.
- Are there any high risks related to meeting some performance
requirement? If so, describe these risks.
- Have risk officers been appointed to your project? If so,
give the name and describe the responsibility of each.
- Does the project maintain a risk register that includes all
non-negligible risks and the following information for each risk
item: probability of transitioning into a problem, statement
of impact if it does transition into a problem, ranking of risks,
risk owner for each risk, statement of risk mitigation plan for
each risk item?
- What was the last date when a new risk item was identified?
- What is the most likely additional cost due to the problems from those of the existing open risks that transition into a problem?
- What is the most likely schedule slip due to the problems
from those of the existing open risks that transition into a
problem?
- How much funding is currently in reserve to pay for problems
due to currently open risks that transition into problems?
- Describe your approach to preventing risks from transitioning into problems on the critical path.
