Throughout the process, the Risk/Opportunity Manager ensures that each entry is quantified for likelihood and impact, assigns preliminary owners, and aligns the findings with the project's risk tolerance and opportunity capture thresholds, laying the groundwork for subsequent analysis, response planning, and continuous monitoring.
• Facilitate Risk/Opportunity Management Boards: Guide the formal governance forum that regularly reviews, evaluates, and directs the response to identified risks and opportunities throughout the project lifecycle.
• Participate in studies and system trades for on-ramping of enhanced capabilities
• Support stretch assignments, such as proposal support, independent review teams
