According to the DoD Risk, Issue, and Opportunity Management Guide for Defense Acquisition Programs, “risk management is an integral part of program management and systems engineering. A PM must align risk appetite with organizational capacity to manage risks and allocate limited resources to the best effect.”

Do you understand risk management? Do you understand your roles, responsibilities in the process? Are you aware of the myriad risk management training, tools, and references available to you and your organization in identifying, assessing, managing, and mitigating risk on your program or in your product support strategy development and implementation?
