Appendix: Templates and Examples
ATOM presents a practical “how-to” method that is applicable to any project of any size. To aid practitioners in putting ATOM into practice, this appendix provides a range of templates and examples to support each step of the ATOM risk process. Some of these templates and examples can be used without modification, while others require tailoring to the specific requirements of the project and organization. Further details on how to use each template and example are given in the relevant chapter.
The templates and examples in this appendix are listed below.
