Week 6 Topic: What risks have caught you off guard in Defence projects?

This week is about getting proactive—identifying risks before they derail your project. We’re exploring how structured frameworks like DIPRAC can help you plan for uncertainty, assign contingency, and protect your delivery.

Share your experiences. You might consider:
– What’s a risk you didn’t identify early enough? What was the impact?
– How do you currently approach risk during the planning phase?
– Do you use a framework or checklist (like DIPRAC) to guide discussions?
– Have you ever set a contingency that turned out to be too low—or too high?
– How do you balance risk realism with competitiveness in a tender?
– What did you think of FeeMaster? How could it be improved?

Reply to others, share examples (feel free to generalise or redact), and let us know what helps you spot risk early and plan with confidence.
