This comprehensive training course equips federal employees supporting defense acquisition programs with a practical, standards-based approach to programmatic risk management. You’ll learn to apply the DoD Risk Management Process (Plan, Identify, Analyze, Mitigate, Monitor), write clear if-then risk statements that specify causes and consequences, and use the 5x5 matrix to assess likelihood and impact across cost, schedule, and technical performance.

Participants in this full-day course learn about root cause analysis techniques, building complete mitigation plans (including milestones and success criteria), recognizing and managing opportunities, and tracking mitigation progress with risk burn-down charts—then apply everything in a team-based case study that produces risk statements, matrix results, and risk register entries.
