This talk discusses metrics involved with assessing risk and the risk process.  The presentation includes how to select the right metrics, and how these metrics support the goals of Risk Management.  This involves the risk profile and how to calculate risk exposure and return on investment (ROI).  An example case is used to demonstrate typical measurements of these metrics, trends and how they assist management�s decisions on priority and budget including when to stop working a given risk.  Other metrics are given which provide directions for improving the Risk Management Process, and answering the question:  Is this process working?

Mike Helton is a senior Risk Management consultant and has practiced Risk Management for over 17 years on very large to very small programs and projects.  These included the Air Traffic Control DSR Program, an NSA Process Improvement Program and many smaller group projects within larger programs such as various groups within NASA�s Landsat Program.  He was the instructor for the Risk Management Process for the National Security Administration where he trained over 350 NSA professionals on Risk Management.  This included tailoring aspects of industry standard risk management processes documented by the PMBOK, SEI Carnegie Mellon Institute and several other sources of risk management to fit various kinds of programs and projects.  His prior endeavors included integration manager on a key stage of the NASA�s International Space Station, integration manager on a commercial satellite communications system for the American Satellite Company and mission & science sequence design engineer on various interplanetary space missions at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
