7. Mission Success Starts With Safety February 13, 2001 (7) RBAM Basics To do this, we are telling everyone to use a disciplined continuous risk management process: identify, analyze, plan, track, control, communicate and document.  Identify. Sit individuals down, and point out trouble areas.  Analyze. Engage brain, preferably before buying.  Plan. Before leaping, think landing.  Track. Keep tabs on your bets.  Control. Try not to do really stupid things.  Communicate. Be real when telling managers about risks.  Document. Write it down and don’t forget.

8. Mission Success Starts With Safety February 13, 2001 (8) Summary RBAM ties the money process to the safety and mission assurance process. Early application is showing practical benefit. Risks are being identified before announcements are let out on the street. Risk discussions required by the new procurement notice, have been healthy reality checks as new innovative and technically challenging NASA project acquisitions come up for review.
