2 Identify and Use Risk to Your Contracting Advantage Breakout Session #: F12 Presented by: Matt Wilson VP SimVentions Lyle Eesley President L.E. Consulting Phil Salmeri President M&MH Design Date: July 25, 2017 Time: 4:00 5:15 1

3 Objective/Format Objective Discuss Risk / Issue / Opportunity (RIO) handling related to the Acquisition process and related artifacts Engage the entire group to discuss risks and how you addressed them in your contracts Format Basic RIO Model overview Discuss examples from SMEs and audience Provide a forum for discussion Learn from one another 2

4 Risk / Issue / Opportunity (RIO) What are we talking about? Risk Issue Opportunity 3

5 Options to respond to risk Responses Assessment Handling Mitigation Avoidance Acceptance Ignore Monitor / Track / Manage 4

6 Risk Assessment Risk Identification What is the RIO Describe it in a statement What category does it fall into? Cost, Schedule, Performance What is its likelihood? What is the impact if it occurs? 5

7 Risk Assessment Model Nearly Certain Highly Likely Likely Unlikely Remote Likelihood Impact Minimal / None Somewhat Moderate Major Un-acceptable 6

8 Likelihood/Probability Rating Description 5 Nearly Certain The event is expected to occur in most circumstances as there is a history of regular occurrence on this type of project. 4 Highly Likely There is a strong possibility the event will occur as there is a history of frequent occurrence on this type of project. 3 Likely The event might occur at some time as there is a history of casual occurrence on this type of project. 2 Unlikely Not expected, but there's a slight possibility it may occur at some time. 1 Remote Highly unlikely, but it may occur in exceptional circumstances. It could happen, but probably never will. 7

9 Impact/Consequence Set impact levels based on the category of the risk Cost Schedule Performance (Technical) 8

10 Cost Risk Rating Cost Impact Scale based on the size of the project and/or its tolerance for variation. For example: Project budget of $2M Description 5 Unacceptable > 15% or > $350K 4 Major 10-15% or $200K $350K 3 Moderate 5-10% or $100K $200K 2 Somewhat 1-5% or $20K $100K 1 Minimal / None < 1% or < $20K 9

11 Schedule Impact Scale based on the duration of the project and/or its tolerance for variation. For example: Project duration of 1 Year Schedule Risk Rating Description 5 Unacceptable > 12 weeks schedule impact 4 Major 8-12 weeks schedule impact 3 Moderate 4-8 weeks schedule impact 2 Somewhat 1-4 weeks schedule impact 1 Minimal / None < 1 week schedule impact 10

12 Performance Impact Performance Risk Examples base it on Key Performance Parameters (KPPs) Impact on mission performance Website availability Facility Access Ability to handle calls 11

13 Performance Impact Performance Risk This is the trickiest one and may require multiple scales and sub-categories to properly quantify. Often subjective. Example: Achieve technical objectives Rating Description 5 Unacceptable Catastrophic impact on the product /service. No credible work-around exists. 4 Major Significant impact on the product / service. Work arounds require considerable effort. 3 Moderate Noticeable impact on the product / service. Work arounds require effort. 2 Somewhat Minor impact on the product / service. Work arounds are not cumbersome. 1 Minimal / None Almost no impact on the functional quality of the product / service. 12

14 Risk Assessment Model Nearly Certain Highly Likely C Likely Unlikely A B Remote Likelihood Minimal / None Somewhat Moderate Major Un-acceptable Impact 13
