Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Direct planning of program risk management
  • Select and modify the program risk methodology to match the context for risk
  • Direct identification, documentation and analysis of program level risks, in consultation with stakeholders, as the basis for project risk-management planning
  • Direct, support and mentor project managers in the analysis, evaluation and treatment of risks
  • Ensure risk management is visible and dynamic across the program so that risks are assigned and managed in a timely manner
  • Develop and maintain a program risk-management system to enable effective management and communication of risks, controls, treatments and outcomes to stakeholders across the program
       
Element: Manage program risk
  • Direct management of the program in accordance with agreed program risk-management plans
  • Review progress, analyse variance and initiate risk responses to achieve program objectives in dynamic risk environments
  • Ensure risks are monitored and assessed across the program at agreed intervals
  • Direct response to actuated program risk (issues) and ensure remedial actions are authorised with impact analysis, to achieve program objectives
       
Element: Assess program risk-management outcomes
  • Identify and document program residual risk to alert stakeholders of any transferred liability at program completion
  • Review and analyse program outcomes to assess the effectiveness of the risk-management methodology
  • Analyse, document and recommend lessons learned for application in other programs
