The Cone of Uncertainty as a Technical Performance Measure. Uncertainty creates Risk. Risk management requires active reduction of risk. Active reduction requires we have a desired reduction goal, perform the work, and measure progress toward the rduction goal. Measure of Effectiveness.

This notion shows that governance is not considered a requirement for the business. This is the same olde problem we have with estimating definition if you don't define who the players are, assign their roles and responsibilities, then when you use a word it can pretty much mean anything your want it to mean. IT Risk Management.

We can estimate the total cost, total duration, and the probability that all the Features will be delivered on the program we are working for the US Government. In the project domain, an estimate is a calculated approximation of some desired measurement. Kahneman is speaking about risk-taking when we put it in the project context.

Designing, building, testing, and deploying complex systems is fraught with risk. And as always risk comes from uncertainty. Much has been written about the sources of risk and how to Manage in the Presence of Uncertainty (This briefing describes how risk is managed for each element of the Integrated Master Plan). .

There are several partitions of this information that are common in building the Performance Measurement Baseline (PMB). Since all projects operate in the presence of uncertainty, with the resulting risk - estimates are needed to make decisions that impact the future. Several other government estimating organizations.

Accept: A response to a project risk where the project manager accepts the risk and takes no action to evade it, i.e. 'accepting' the risk. This is usually in case of risks that are unlikely to occur or minor enough so as to not affect the project's outcome. A project sponsor can request an audit.

Risk interaction within systems and subsystems, between functional and physical elements, can also be modeled with DSM. DSM models interacting risks in a graphical representation produce numerical simulations of the risk and impacts on the probability of program success. Traditional risk models cannot model loops.
