The previous post titled Risks are Not Issues triggered by several things.
- The notion of risk mis-applied in many IT domains as the management of "issues"
- Many - OK most - non-defense or non-mission critical environment - risk approaches have serious flaws.
So here's a set of risk management resources that have served me well over the years. These are available on the web, but I've moved them to the local library for convenience.
- Dealing with UNK UNKs
- DoD RMG 2006
- Managing Project Uncertainty Variation to Chaos
- Project Management Under Risk
- USN Top11 Ways Risk
- Uncertainty Ambiguity and Complexity in PM
- Uncertainty and Project Management
- Risk Management Consolidated Training
These are the tip of the iceberg of ~600MB in the local file server on the topic of programmatic risk. This does not touch the materials on technical risks in a variety of domains and contexts.
I'll keep adding to the list. I'm writing the Risk Management section of the Management Approach in the tech Volume of an Air Force proposal this week and next
