What Is Risk-Based Allocation?
Risk-based allocation (RBA) maximizes the return on your program investments by using algorithms to prioritize risk factors for each program element or objective. Because RBA is informed by risk, higher-risk areas generally receive the greatest investments over time. In addition to risk, factors considered in the RBA process include:
- Need (including mission objectives and the capability levels required to mitigate risks)
- Current organizational capability levels
- Historical funding
- Cost to acquire needed capabilities
- Expected effectiveness of the initiative
- Alignment with higher level strategies
- Other mission-specific objectives and constraints determined by you.
