### Overview MSF for CMMI® Process Improvement comes with a risk management strategy defined in the process template. Decide whether to adopt the included approach or whether to customize the process template. # Entry Criteria Process Template A project process template (generally the MSF for CMMI® Process Improvement process template). # Sub-Activities
1 | Decide Whether to Customize or Not | Consider the Risk Management workstream and decide whether it is acceptable for your project, product, and organization. The standard risk management guidance includes a daily monitoring of risk parameters against identified risks, selection of risk for mitigation, mitigation action planning, and contingency planning.
2 | Customize Risk Management | Optional Customize the process template to replace the Risk Management workstream or delete it and add suitable risk management activities at other points in the process definition file.
3 | Review Customized Risk Management | Optional Together with the integrated program management (IPM) office and the auditors, review the customized risk management approach for acceptability against the Risk Management (RSKM) CMMI® level 3 process area.
# Exit Criteria
| If customizing the risk management strategy, then an updated process template is produced.
