DIN EN 9239:2016-09

DIN EN 9239 aims to describe the implementation of Risk Management within the Programme Management framework. Risk Management forms an integral part of programme management. It should be implemented right from the start of the project feasibility phase and continue until material disposal. The ultimate goal is to contribute to an appropriate definition of programme objectives (costs, schedules and performances …) and to continuously ensure that they are met or enhanced, despite any events likely to affect the programme through its lifecycle. By implementing methods, the programme manager can manage risks in another way than by using intuitive and non-formalised procedures. This document is to be used as a basis, for any given programme, for negotiating the requirements and relationships between customers and suppliers; they should comply with to ensure Management of Risk. It complements programme management guidelines EN 9200. It enables to answer specific needs in the field of Aeronautics although it does not present any sectorial characteristic and may therefore apply to the needs of other areas. However, the specificity of some areas can lead to the use of existing sectorial standards such as EN ISO 17666 Space systems - Risk management (ISO 17666:2003). DIN EN 9239: - proposes the main steps for setting up Risk Management framework within programme Management. This guideline may serve as a basis for writing a Risk Management specification; - describes a process for controlling programme risks within the defined boundaries that are considered as tolerable. This standard process can be used as a methodological guide for writing the programme Risk Management Plan; - recognises the need for knowledge management related to Risk Management, in order to capitalize and to share lessons learnt with other programmes, as well as the maturity assessment of the Risk Management; - identifies useful documents for Risk Management; - proposes an example of a typical checklist of risks related to a programme; in addition: - addresses opportunities. An opportunity is an uncertain event with positive consequences on the programme. The standard EN 9239 has been prepared by the ASD-STAN, Technical Section General, Working Group Programme Management and System Engineering. The AeroSpace and Defence Industries Association of Europe - Standardization (ASD-STAN) has been declared responsible by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) for preparing European Standards (EN) for the aerospace sector. The responsible German standardization committee is 131-05-01 AA "Grundlagen und Managementverfahren" ("Basic principles of management processes") at DIN Standards Committee Aerospace (NL).
