Risk Management and Governance Questions

Ongoing practices and organizational mechanisms for managing risk over the lifecycle of a program or enterprise. Topics include building and maintaining risk registers, defining ownership and escalation paths, determining risk tolerance and acceptance criteria, periodic reassessment and monitoring, reporting to leadership, and governance workflows for mitigation tracking and decision escalation. Candidates should be able to describe how to prioritize risks, when and how to escalate to engineering or executive leadership, how to document mitigation progress, and how to operationalize risk policies and controls to ensure issues are tracked until closure.
