6.9 Program Segmentation  42 6_SRMGSA_202003  Originally published March 2020  Uncontrolled copy when downloaded  If an acquisition program is released in segments over time, each segment may require its own  PSP that references the version of the SMS Manual and the Safety Risk Management Guidance  for System Acquisitions that is current at the time the PSP is approved. In addition, if safety  hazards identified in a previous segment have been successfully mitigated to an acceptable  safety level prior to a subsequent segment (i.e., the mitigation met the monitoring plan  requirements), then that mitigation becomes an existing control for subsequent segments. The  safety analyses of subsequent segments should start at the new safety baseline of the previous  segment.  The PO applies program risk management throughout the AMS lifecycle management process to  identify and mitigate risks associated with achieving FAA goals and objectives. Each investment  program should institute risk management processes in accordance with AMS policy and  guidance. The FAA's policy related to risk management can be found in  AMS, Section 4.13,  Risk  Management .  6.10 Program Risk Management  Program risk management and SRM have separate foci. For instance, cost and schedule  impacts are not factored into a safety assessment but are part of program risk management. However, program risk management and SRM are not mutually exclusive. Safety risk that is not  properly mitigated can become a program risk by delaying or stopping the implementation of  activities and, consequentially, affecting program cost or schedule. Knowledge of SMS policies  and proper planning help the PO minimize any SRM impacts to cost and schedule. AJI SCLs  can also assist in this area.
