I need to answer problem 8.4 from chapters (8) of the attached textbook. The answer has to reflect CHAPER 8 in the book AND NOT just copy and paste. PLEASE use the spellcheck and grammar check before submitting the work.The problem is:8.4 Under the subsection Program Risks, five examples are listed of conditions that may result in a significant probability of program failure. For each example, explain briefly what consequences of the condition may lead to a program failure.

who never took “no” for an answer and refused to believe that anything was
impossible. He was an extraordinary problem solver, instructor, mentor, and

PREFACE TO THE SECOND
EDITION
It is an incredible honor and privilege to follow in the footsteps of an individual who
had a profound influence on the course of history and the field of systems engineering.
Since publication of the first edition of this book, the field of systems engineering has
seen significant advances, including a significant increase in recognition of the discipline, as measured by the number of conferences, symposia, journals, articles, and
books available on this crucial subject. Clearly, the field has reached a high level of
maturity and is destined for continued growth. Unfortunately, the field has also seen
some sorrowful losses, including one of the original authors, Alexander Kossiakoff,
who passed away just 2 years after the publication of the book. His vision, innovation,
excitement, and perseverance were contagious to all who worked with him and he is
missed by the community. Fortunately, his vision remains and continues to be the
driving force behind this book. It is with great pride that we dedicate this second edition
to the enduring legacy of Alexander Ivanovitch Kossiakoff.
ALEXANDER KOSSIAKOFF, 1914–2005
Alexander Kossiakoff, known to so many as “Kossy,” gave shape and direction to the
Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory as its director from 1969 to
1980. His work helped defend our nation, enhance the capabilities of our military,
pushed technology in new and exciting directions, and bring successive new generations to an understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities of systems engineering. In 1980, recognizing the need to improve the training and education of technical
professionals, he started the master of science degree program at Johns Hopkins
University in Technical Management and later expanded it to Systems Engineering,
one of the first programs of its kind.
Today, the systems engineering program he founded is the largest part-time graduate program in the United States, with students enrolled from around the world in
classroom, distance, and organizational partnership venues; it continues to evolve as
the field expands and teaching venues embrace new technologies, setting the standard
for graduate programs in systems engineering. The first edition of the book is the foundational systems engineering textbook for colleges and universities worldwide.
