Potential Misconceptions

• System delivery provides
• Desired Service(s)
• Desired Benefit(s)
• FE Programs fund all activities necessary for
• Desired Service(s)
• Desired Benefit(s)
• FAA Program schedules imply
• All interdependencies will be satisfied to
  deliver
• Desired Service(s)
• Desired Benefit(s)
• Desired Service Desired Benefit

Result is... No clear understanding of the Risk
associated with the actual delivery of Services
or Benefits
