"The Defense Technical Risk Assessment Methodology, Version 6.4, updates Version 6.3 by strengthening Corrosion Prevention and Control. This addition aligns with DoD Instruction 5000.88, Engineering of Defense Systems. The update emphasizes the importance of the requirement to reduce costly corrosion issues in systems over their life span."

 

This DTRAM update also corresponds to the addition of a Corrosion Prevention and Control Section 3.7 in the updated DoD SEP Outline v4.1 released on 26 Apr 23. It isn't yet posted on the SE&A site due to their website being updated but it will be there eventually.

ProbabilityManagement.org is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to making uncertainty actionable through tools, standards, applications, and training.

What is Probability Management?

Probability management is the representation of uncertainties as data arrays called SIPs that obey both the laws of arithmetic and the laws of probability.

Cure the Flaw of Averages

ChanceCalc is a revolutionary Excel add-in that performs the arithmetic of uncertainty using the same keystrokes as those for numerical calculations. This cures the Flaw of Averages, a set of systematic errors that occur when uncertain forecasts are replaced by single “average” numbers.

Make Chance-Informed Decisions

Where arithmetic tells you that X+Y=Z, the arithmetic of uncertainty asks what you want Z to be and then estimates your chances. Chance-informed decisions display tradeoffs between a range of goals and the chances of achieving them. This improves collaboration by acknowledging the risk attitudes of diverse stakeholders.

Roll Up Risks and Opportunities Across the Enterprise

The open SIPmath™ Standard communicates uncertainties as actionable data, generated by experts using the SIPmath Modeler Tools, R, Python, or other environments. Just as electrification allows non-experts to use electricity generated by experts to power lightbulbs and appliances, non-experts may use SIPs in Excel or decision dashboards in a process we call Chancification. This ushers in a new approach to enterprise risk management in which risks and opportunities are rolled up like numbers in an accounting system.

​I am teaching an introduction to systems engineering class and was wondering whether it is standard to consider risks to society at large (e.g. spreading COVID as a result of lax precautions or contributions to global warming).  This would be in contrast to focusing exclusively on risks the development and/or operations of the system (e.g. unreliablity of parts, a component not meeting TRL).  Any pointers to documentation or guidance would be very helpful.

I joined a new USAF organization a few months ago​ and was assigned as risk manager for an upcoming program.  Currently, I'm using an excel file to document all the risks and then hand-jamming it all in to powerpoint for my review boards.  I'm trying to find out if there are any other USAF personnel that are currently using any risk management software.  I've gone through the list of tools provided on this sharepoint site, but unfortunately, a number of their websites are blocked and the others seem to not have been approved for use on DoD computers... I've heard the process to get software approved is extensive.  AFERMS (with ARM) looks promising but it doesn't appear to be free for use on USAF systems, nor does it show up on the approved software list for use on USAF computers (per my IT POC).

​In past several programs I have worked, a recommendation for a risk, issue or opportunity is brought forward thru the systems engineering team and/or the risk manager, vetted and presented during a risk management board (RMB), for the senior body and the chair of the RMB to adjudicate.  Recently this notion of division of responsibility has come into question and I cannot find any documentation that reference back as to the process initial beginnings.  The argument in question is that to prevent any ethical entanglements (between the recommendation and adjudication, among the parties making them) given that risks/issues/opportunities could have financial and resource implications on any given program.  As reference, I read the DAU/DoD RIO Guide 2017, NAVSEA 5000.8 instruction and the fifth edition PMBOK.  Any thoughts?  Thank you kindly.

​​​​​I am confused by the te​rm "likelihood" as it applies to opportunity in Figure 4-3 of the DoD Risk, Issue, and Opportunity Management Guide (January 2017).  "Likelihood" would make sense using the Project Management Institute's definition of an opportunity as "a risk that would have a positive effect on one or more objectives."  However, the DoD Guide treats opportunity not as an uncertain event, but as a choice for the program manager to incorporate or not.  I noticed that the opportunity matrix that was in Figure 6-4 of the original 2015 guide was removed in the 2017 edition. Is "likelihood" still applicable for opportunities, or was it inadvertently left in the 2017 register example? If it is still applicable, could you please explain how it should be used, possibly with an example or two?  Thank you!

​Professor Morrow,

 

I have recently attended the AFIT Risk Managament Course (3 days) and have a lot of relevant artifacts which I will acquire from the school and send to you to post for use by all the RIO Community.  It is the Air Force slant, of course, but there is much value in viewing the same topic (RIO in this case) from different vantage points.

 

Thanks,

 

Justin Porto
