When to use it

• Use it when making plans, to help identify potential risks to their successful completion.
• When risks are identified, use it to help identify and select from a set of possible countermeasures.
• Also use it to help plan for ways of avoiding and eliminating identified risks.
• It is of best value when risks are non-obvious, such as in unfamiliar situations or in complex plans, and when the consequences of failure are serious.
