What is BAS Risk Management

The BAS Program uses proactive Risk Management as part of the overall management of the BAS Project. Risk Management is a project management tool to assess and mitigate events that might adversely impact the project. Successful implementation of Risk Management will increase the project’s likelihood of success. The BAS Project is committed to understanding the organization's business objectives and to designing and implementing effective Risk Management processes. Accordingly, the BAS Risk Management workstream maintains a risk plan and a risk register that is used to regularly identify, monitor, control, and report on BAS project risks.
