This work presents a family of preference models for prioritizing program risk. These models originate from multiattribute utility theory and rank-order project-defined risk events as a function of multiple criteria. Such criteria include, but are not limited to, a program's cost, schedule, and technical performance. In addition, the methodology is tuned for quantifying the effects of coupled (dependent) risks. As a decision-aid, these models target where engineering assets are best applied to mitigate potentially crippling areas of risk to a program.
