When we hear that a proposed process, tool, method or any ideas is all about "risk management," check to see if it covers these areas. If not, the suggestion is not really about risk management.
The Failure Mode Effects and Criticality Analysis is a reliability evaluation/design technique which examines the potential failure modes within a system and its equipment, in order to determine the effects on equipment and system performance.

The Impedance Mismatch in Integrated Engineering Design Systems is an issue in the Integration of commercial off the shelf (COTS) components.
This issue is a member of the Impedance Mismatch
problems found when commercial off the shelf
components are assembled into systems.
This mismatch occurs when event, control sequence,
or data semantics of two or more participating application
domains are mismatched.
During the system integration process the impedance
mismatch must be addressed through some means,
either through an integration layer which hides the
mismatch or through an integrating service, such as
CORBA, which facilitates the impedance adaptation
between the applications.

Avoid software project horror stories - check the reality value of the estima...Harold van Heeringen
Many large software projects turn into software horror stories, resulting in newspaper headlines and even political issues. Often, the project costs and schedule were estimated unrealistically optimistic, using immature estimation techniques. A relatively simple way to avoid many problems is to perform a reality check on the estimate. This presentation was given on the conference of the International Cost Estimating and Analysis Association (ICEAA2014), June 2014 (Denver, USA)
The use of an architecture–centered development process for delivering information technology began with the introduction of client / server based systems. Early client/server and legacy mainframe applications did not provide the architectural flexibility needed to meet the changing business requirements of the modern manufacturing organization. With the introduction of Object Oriented systems, the need for an architecture–centered process became a critical success factor. Object reuse, layered system components, data abstraction,
web based user interfaces, CORBA, and rapid development and deployment processes all provide economic
incentives for object technologies. However, adopting the latest object oriented technology, without an adequate understanding of how this technology fits a specific architecture, risks the creation of an instant legacy
system.
We have lots data. Let’s use it create more credible estimates to help tame the growth beast. In spite the estimating community’s efforts to provide credible estimates, government programs still seem to deliver less than promised, cost more than planned, and take longer than needed. When estimates are consistently biased low:
- Decisions of choice are distorted
- Cost growth causes more growth as programs are stretched out to fund portfolios with fixed budgets
- Taxpayers become more cynical and negative about government
- The estimating community’s credibility is seriously questioned
Delivering programs with less capability than promised, while exceeding the cost and planned durations, distorts decision making, contributes to increasing cost growth to other programs, undermines the Federal government’s credibility with taxpayers and contributes to the public’s negative support for these programs.
Many reasons have been hypothesized and documented for cost and schedule growth. The authors review some of these reasons, and propose that government and contractors use the historical variability of the past programs to establish cost and schedule estimates at the outset and periodically update these estimates with up-to-date risks, to increase the probability of program success. For this to happen, the authors recommend changes to estimating, acquisition and contracting processes.

Developing an Acquisition Centre of Excellence for Effective Sourcing and Sup...Alan McSweeney
Acquisition skills are necessary to support move from in-sourcing to outsourcing of projects, solutions and services. Effective and appropriate sourcing allows organisations react quickly while reducing costs, ensuring repeatability and improving returns on sourcing activities. Acquisition includes sourcing of suppliers, defining services, awarding contracts to supplier agreements, managing the delivery of contracted services, Getting good at acquisition is a very worthwhile investment for any organisation. Acquisitions skills are essential for implementing sourcing strategy effectively. It ensures consistent and cost-effective outcomes from sourcing activities. Use CMMI for Acquisition maturity model structure to develop an acquisition capability programme. This provides a structured approach with a set of activities and tasks.
Planning projects usually starts with tasks and milestones. The planner gathers this information from the participants – customers, engineers, subject matter experts. This information is usually arranged in the form of activities and milestones. PMBOK defines “project time management” in this manner. The activities are then sequenced according to the projects needs and mandatory dependencies.
Increasing the Probability of Project SuccessGlen Alleman
Risk Management is essential for development and production programs. Information about key cost, performance and schedule attributes are often uncertain or unknown until late in the program.
Risk issues that can be identified early in the program, which may potentially impact the program, termed Known Unknowns, can be alleviated with good risk management. -- Effective Risk Management 2nd Edition, Page 1, Edmund Conrow, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2003
Cost and schedule growth for complex projects is created when unrealistic technical performance expectations, unrealistic cost and schedule estimates, inadequate risk assessments, unanticipated technical issues, and poorly performed and ineffective risk management, contribute to project technical and programmatic shortfalls

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
