Defense AT and L. Volume 44, Number 1

Abstract

As I have watched programs come through for Milestone Decisions and other reviews, I have gained the impression that our processes for risk management may have focused too much on the process and not enough on the substance of identifying and controlling risk. I think I may be seeing risk identificationcategorization in the risk matrix showing likelihood and consequence and with risk burn-down schedules tied to program events. From my perspective, this by itself isnt risk management; it is risk watching. We need to do what we can to manage and control risk, not just observe it.
