Risk
A measure of the uncertainty of attaining a goal, objective, or requirement pertaining to technical performance, cost, and schedule. Risk level is categorized by the probability of occurrence and the consequences of occurrence. Risk is assessed for program, product, and process aspects of the system. This includes the adverse consequences of process variability. The sources of risk include technical (e.g., feasibility, operability, producibility, testability, and system effectiveness); cost (e.g., estimates, goals); schedule (e.g., technology/material availability, technical achievements, milestones); and programmatic (e.g., resources, contractual). [MIL-STD 499B]

Many times specifications and
standards leave you a little confused. Here is a book that tells you all
about the CMM model, based on the practices in an organization that is
assessed at Level-4 in the model (the organization, Infosys, is assessed at
Level-5 just when this book is released). The organization of the book in 3
parts in terms of Project Initiation, Project Planning and Project Execution
is extremely logical and reflects the flow of a project in an organization. |
