Risk Reporting Matrix

Who is responsible
for Risk Management?

We All Are!
Level Technical Performance/Life Cycle Sustainment Schedule Cost
1 Minimal or no consequence to technical performance. Minimal or no impact Minimal or no impact
2 Minor reduction in technical performance or supportability; can be tolerated with little or no impact on program. Able to meet key dates Budget increase or unit production cost increase
(<1% if Budget)
3 Moderate reduction in technical performance or supportability with limited impact on program objectives. Minor schedule slip; able to meet key milestones with no schedule float Budget increase or unit production cost increase
(<5% if Budget)
4 Significant degradation in technical performance or major shortfall in supportability; may jeopardize program success. Program critical path affected Budget increase or unit production cost increase
(<10% if Budget)
5 Severe gradation in technical performance; cannot meet KPP or key technical/supportability threshold; will jeopardize program success. Cannot meet key program milestones Exceeds APB threashold
(>10% if Budget)

Include risk management in program and technical planning.
Continuously implement risk management process during program execution.
