Acknowledgements
The upgrade of Risk Matrix from version 2.02 to 2.1 was a collaborative effort between the
Economic and Decision Analysis Center (EDAC) and the Systems Engineering Process
Office (SEPO) at MITRE. Both organizations are grateful to all of the team members that
made the update to this tool and users' guide possible. Version 2.2 includes additional
enhancements.
As the lead author, Pam Engert conducted research, decided the content, and coordinated
the teams efforts.
Zachary Lansdowne, Jennifer Anderson, and Michael Bloom provided notable support in
identifying necessary modifications for the update and verifying the implementation of the
changes.
Brian Schmidt implemented all of the code changes to the tool and provided valuable
insights to the review process.
Jennifer Anderson made significant contributions to the users’ guide in researching and
documenting system and year 2000 requirements as well as capturing graphics.
Zachary Lansdowne updated the text for Appendices A and B from the information that
was originally published in the Risk Matrix 2.02 documentation.
The careful editorial review provided by Diana Arimento greatly improved the readability
and overall flow of this users’ guide.
