Shared Approach to Risk Management
Summary
Several projects identify similar risks around policy uncertainty, stakeholder availability and technical dependencies. A shared risk pattern library lets teams anticipate them earlier.
Shared challenge
This opportunity addresses Dependency management — a challenge experienced by multiple teams across the contract.
What one team learned
Several projects identify similar risks around policy uncertainty, stakeholder availability and technical dependencies.
Reusable improvement
A risk pattern library with common risks, mitigations, escalation routes and lessons learned.
How other teams can apply it
- 1Seed the project risk register from the pattern library.
- 2Adopt the recommended mitigations for common risks.
- 3Feed new risks and lessons back into the library.
Evidence and artefacts
Suggested SoW wording
