“Course material was well organized and presented well. The instructor kept everyone’s attention and material was made interesting. RBAM has made it easier to identify what resources will be needed early on in the project; brought about accountability of other offices to a.) identify all potential risks, b.) establish a plan of action, and c.) to resolve their potential risks; promoted a team effort with everyone working toward a common goal — to minimize risks as much as possible and to mitigate those that cannot be eliminated.”
Rhonda Foley, NASA/SSC/Quality Engineer

“I thought the workshop was excellent. It provided some great insight into the overall process from both the contractor and NASA perspective. The tool provides visibility to things we assume or take for granted. I think it should be taught to Project Managers (NASA & Contractor).”
John J. Degiovanni, Boeing/SSME/Engineer

“At Marshall we are trying to get all the employees in the procurement office to use RBAM in new requirements. It got everyone looking at risk in a way they had not before. It also allowed us to see what we had to do to get those risks minimized.”
Melinda Dodson, NASA/MSFC/Contract Specialist

“The instructors appears to understand the subject matter well and did a good job of presenting the material and answering questions.”
Connie B. Poole, NASA/JSC/Contract Specialist

“Very applicable to my profession as a NASA Contracting Officer. Risk management allows procurement professionals to take a proactive approach to Project Management and promote teamwork by all stakeholders. Many new regulations and directives have been issued on risk management in order to assist stakeholders in accepting risk. This approach provides structured guidance on how to become well informed in accepting or mitigating risk, as long as there are no compromises in the safety and health of people/property or damage to the environment. It also provides a good framework for strengthening and properly implementing Performance-Based Contracting.”
