NASA Risk Management
Sponsored by:
Office of Safety and Mission Assurance (OSMA) and the Academy of Program and
Project Leadership (APPL) in the office of the Chief Engineer (OCE)
This is a one week residential course designed for Risk Management
Practitioners. Risk Management Practitioners are those Program/Project
personnel that are involved in the decision making process. This includes
project managers, management team members with technical, cost and schedule
responsibilities, System Engineers, and Safety and Mission Assurance
Managers. This is a PMDP level 2-3 workshop. It begins by providing an
in-depth understanding of risks, what they are and where they come from. The
workshop then delves into the concepts, principles and techniques of
managing risk throughout the NASA program/project life cycle. The workshop
utilizes lecture from subject matter experts, and class team exercises that
address managing risks on NASA programs and projects.
Participants learn how to:
Effectively identify, manage and communicate risk using wide spectrum of
techniques, methodologies and tools. The workshop allows participants to
develop, enhance and demonstrate their abilities to manage risk within the
NASA program/project environment.
