Risk and Technical Management Flashcards
What is risk
measure of probability that a program will miss cost, schedule and technical constraints.
What is risk management
dealing with uncertainty, known unknowns, unknown unknowns.
5 phases of risk management process
- risk management planning
- risk identification
- risk analysis
- risk response planning
- risk monitoring and control
phase that creates the risk management plan
risk management planning
risk management planning
analysis of the level, type, visibility of risk management needed
risk identification
what can go wrong?
risk analysis
ID possible consequences
components of risk
likelihood of occurrence, consequence
briefed at milestone review
risk rating matrix
risk response planning options
- assume risk, charlie mike
- eliminate root cause, or consequence
- mitigate the cause or consequence
- transfer the risk
risk monitoring and control
How can the planned risk response be implemented?
3 categories of program data
- management data
- system support data
- ops and support data
4 elements of a TDP
- engineering drawings
- software documentation
- specifications
- material composition
contractually requires the contractor to deliver data
CDRL contract data requirements list
3 goals of config management
- ID and document functional and physical characteristics.
- control changes to config items
- record and report info regarding changes
- audit config items to verify conformance
aggregation of hardware, software or pubs that satisfies an end use function
configuration item (CI)
gov’t role in interface management
ID external interfaces, establish interface baselines, maintain interface stability
contractor role in interface management
manages internal interfaces, establish interface requirements
Why config audits?
ensure CI and config documentation agree, are complete and accurate and satsify program requirements.
What are tech reviews NOT for?
problem solving
SRR phase and function
TD - allows entry into EMD
PDR phase and function
preliminary design review either TD or EMD - allows to proceed into detailed design
CDR phase and function
critical design review EMD - proceed to fabrication
TRR phase and function
testing readiness review EMD - ensures the system is ready to proceed to formal test
