Abstract: IV impact in case of its occurrence. As a measure of degree of implementation, a CMMI-like scale is adopted, which also distinguishes between five levels of maturity. The third dimension in the overall process model, the implementation effort, is based on a qualitative assessment of the previously identified ten most relevant Lean Enablers. A pilot test with a cohort of experienced systems engineers at a recent conference was used to validate the development approach. Other pilot tests of the overall framework in a large car manufacturing company, an aerospace company and a large energy company found the results to be useful and applicable. To conclude, a process model with the three dimensions risk mitigation potential (relevance), degree of implementation and implementation effort of Lean Enablers is proposed. It facilitates the use of risk management in the context of program management and allows for quick identification of program relevant Lean Enablers. The process model was iteratively developed and tested and is expected to provide the user with the ideal tool to order priorities and make decisions concerning lean program and risk management activities.

Coherent Measures of Risk
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present and justify a set of four desirable properties for measures of risk, and call the measures satisfying these properties "coherent", and demonstrate the universality of scenario-based methods for providing coherent measures.
