Tutorial 5: Risk Management for Systems Engineering: some unconventional approaches
Thomas Gilb, Result Planning (N)

This tutorial will expose you to a set of risk analysis, specification and control methods which the lecturer has deep personal and practical experience with. The major topics are:

• Requirements Engineering specification: quantifying all qualities for trackability.
• System Design: the use of Impact Estimation Tables to analyse and control Risk.
• Specification Quality Control: deep early numeric QC of contracts, bids, proposals and all engineering specification, including software engineering.
• Evolutionary Project Management: early numeric rapid feedback for risk learning and control.

The tutorial will provide you a powerful, practical fresh additional set of tools for improving your ability to control not only safety issues, but also for control of risks with the concurrent quality and economic factors.

Tom Gilb is the author of 8 published books in the systems and software engineering management area, some such as his 1976 Software metrics are considered landmarks today. He works as a multinational consultant for high tech and military companies and projects. He is highly original and deep in his approach to problems of managing complex systems, and has seen his methods successfully adopted as the standard for multinationals and for professional communities.
