After giving this overview of the CMMI requirements for risk management, Warren will then present the more interesting quotes and paper abstracts from Aerospace, JPL, leading aerospace companies, and highly regarded consultants which he obtained while attending the Symposium. Attendees will get a snap shot of the current state of the art in risk management with emphasis on space systems.
