CRITICAL PROCESS ASSESSMENT TOOL (CPAT): RISK MANAGEMENT - MILITARY SPECIFICATIONS AND STANDARDS REFORM PROGRAM (MSSRP) (14-AUG-1998)

CRITICAL PROCESS ASSESSMENT TOOL (CPAT): RISK MANAGEMENT - MILITARY SPECIFICATIONS AND STANDARDS REFORM PROGRAM (MSSRP) (14-AUG-1998)., The Critical Process Assessment Tools (CPATs) support project officers and project engineers (1) in preparing Requests for Proposals (RFPs), (2) in preparing for the subsequent source selection (for competitive procurements) or Tech Eval and Fact finding (for non-competitive contract actions), and (3) in preparing to participate in or review contract execution after contract award. The CPATs are applicable to processes that are considered to be critical to the execution of the contract. This version of the CPAT, called the Risk Management CPAT, provides support for the risk management process. To use this CPAT, you should first review the separate CPAT Overview and Program Management CPAT, then this Risk Management CPAT. The Overview CPAT provides a description of the tool’s format, guidance on its usage, and an overview of the acquisition process, so it should be consulted by the first time reader. It does not provide any directly applicable critical process information. The Program Management, Systems Engineering, and Risk Management CPATs contain specific process information that provides top down direction to the other CPATs. These are the functions that are common to and inherent in the execution of any process.
