RBQM abbreviations, acronyms, TLAs, FLAs and even SLAs

The world of Risk-Based Quality Management (RBQM) is like every technical niche, with its own language, lexicon, Three-Letter Acronyms (TLAs) and Four- and even Five-Letter Acronyms (FLAs). Fortunately I’ve only found a couple of SLAs (Six-Letter Acronyms – not to be confused with Service Level Agreements 😊).

If you’re new to RBQM it can be very confusing, not least because the same acronym can be used for different meanings depending on the context. That’s why it’s so important to know what you’re talking about. Below is a list of the most popular(?) - or should I say, more frequently used.
