Dollar Value and Risk Levels

Résumé du livre

"The Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) requires review of Major Defense Acquisition Programs and decisions by senior officials on the basis of a program's dollar value, irrespective of risk. In this paper, we propose a new paradigm in which the level of management and oversight would be based on the level of risk a program represents, including technical, system integration, design, production, and business innovation risk. We also examine the extent to which DoD is prepared to assess these categories of risk and identify descriptive levels that could be used to assess and categorize design and business process risk."--Page 1.
