SAEO
The Strategic Analysis and Estimating Office (SAEO), CREM Unit, working collaboratively with the Urban Corridors Office has developed a standard RISK BREAKDOWN STRUCTURE (RBS). The RBS will be "rolled out" at our Annual Statewide VE-CRA Coordinators Meeting on Tuesday 29-April-2008. UCO and CREM agree that the RBS provides several functions and benefits to the project team and to management.
The RBS:
1. Creates consistency with taxonomy (wording);
2. Organizes risk events into common categories;
3. Helps to identify trends with respect to common usage of risk event categories & event types along with their probability and impact values;
4. Helps to identify common risk events among projects that the Region and HQ offices should be aware of due to their potential cumulative effects; e.g. negotiating agreements with agencies or other municipalities;
5. Provides a basis to work from for risk elicitors during CEVP workshops;
6. Provides a basis for development of independent risk surveys for those that are unable to attend a CEVP workshop.
This RBS serves as a starting point in assessing project risks in CEVP and CRA workshops; and also for smaller projects that may not conduct a formal workshop. The RBS is attached.
Our next initiative (anticipated Summer 2008) is a WSDOT Project Risk Management Manual.
