Technical Risk Assessment: A Practitioner's Guide

Abstract

DSTO's formal process of preparing Technical Risk Assessments (TRA) for Projects has been in operation for several years. A recent review of TRAs conducted by Studies Guidance Group revealed the high value-add from DSTO TRAs is in identifying integration risks, and also showed some weaknesses in identifying and assessing System Readiness Levels and identifying technical risks. This paper supplements DSTO s existing TRA guidance by: 1) focusing on how to identify and assess System Readiness Levels; 2) articulating the difference between technological risk and technical risk; and 3) suggesting sets of candidate technical risks that may be relevant to ADF projects.
