ABSTRACT
As this book will show, developing a useful and enforceable risk assessment contract can be complex. While no single approach is ideal for all situations, it is possible to take an organized approach to developing a Scope of Work * and request for proposals, and to contracting with a risk assessment firm. Experience indicates an organized approach helps a risk assessment project succeed. Detailed planning for a risk assessment, with its concomitant generation of planning reports and memos, increases likelihood of all parties involved fully understanding responsibilities and sharing performance expectations. As planning proceeds into contracting, effort and detail expended on document production can increase dramatically.
