Contract Risk Framework for Program Success
Program Code: 170059
Seminar Date: Wednesday, May 23, 2012
Start Time: 12:00 PM EST
Registration fee: $189.00
This webinar provides guidance to federal program managers and their staffs on what they should consider to ensure their program's acquisition strategy minimizes risk, and offers the best possible chance of success - meeting cost, schedule, and mission-driven performance objectives.
Selection of the appropriate contract type is one consideration, but there are several others that get the procurement headed in the right direction from the start.

Participants will learn about:
- The strengths and limitations of each contract type;
- The importance of the distribution of risk across each type;
- How to determine the rigor of the Basis of Estimate and why that understanding is critical to mission success; and
- Appropriate links between each of these considerations and the nature of the technical work at hand.
This fast paced webinar will address the above issues and more while giving you plenty of opportunity to ask our experts for advice about your unique concerns.
