CHAPTER 4

4.1.2 Identifying and describing the system to be reviewed  
 
It is important to put boundaries around the system (i.e. the task, the process, the design, the geographical area, etc.) that is to be reviewed using risk assessment. Boundaries define what 
the risk assessment covers, reducing the likelihood of overlaps or gaps. Setting the systems boundaries  also helps the to identify the information required for the risk assessment.

Some examples of system boundaries for the deliverables mentioned before are as follows:
