Developer Risk Management product mark

Developer Risk Management, the framework run operationally.

Developer Risk Management (DRM) is operational, developer-side risk management delivered as milestone-gated playbooks scored by program management against objective criteria. It applies the same Six Forces methodology and the same 81-milestone framework as the independent Shield assessment, in an operational posture HampTex runs for the developer.

Product Separation

DRM and Shield share one methodology and diverge in output. Shield produces an independent Risk Profile Score and Shield Assessment Report; DRM produces neither. Operational, not analytical: a project on which DRM is delivered is one on which HampTex occupies the Operational or Developer-Side Posture, and under the firm's Master Services Agreement, DRM cannot generate a Shield report. The two are distinct deliverables and are never blended.

How It Works

One methodology, an operational output.

Shared framework

Six structural forces, fifteen Force Multipliers, and 81 milestones (22 material), identical to the independent assessment.

Operated by HampTex

HampTex runs the DRM view for the developer as a senior team extension, with milestones scored by program management against objective criteria.

Milestone-gated playbooks

Risk is surfaced and retired through milestone-gated playbooks rather than discovered late in the development cycle.

No independent verdict

DRM never issues a Risk Profile Score or a Shield Assessment Report. Independent scoring is reserved for the Six Forces Assessment, where HampTex holds no operational interest.

Where It Is Going

A proprietary tool, under development.

Developer Risk Management is a proprietary tool HampTex is actively building into a software platform that runs the milestone-gated playbooks, tracks the 81 milestones, and surfaces risk against objective criteria for the developer in real time. A working prototype is built and available to demonstrate.

Until the platform is generally available, HampTex delivers DRM through a documented manual process that follows the identical Six Forces methodology and the same 81-milestone framework, run operationally by senior program management. As with Shield, the software productizes a process the firm already runs by hand today. The methodology is live now; the platform scales how it is delivered.
