There are about 80 suggestions concerning RBS. Each context brings it's own.

Absolutely not ;-) I came across this invented acronym and found it worth sharing. But this brings the question: who decides on when a series of words can become an acronym? For instance, one could say that Laughing out Loud falls in the same category as FUBAR.
"FUBAR" had a slightly more colorful meaning when I first learned it. As did "SNAFU." Both of those acronyms seem to have become commonplace in business, government, and broadcasting. You're right, though, I wouldn't personally use it in official correspondence.

Specifically in the project management realm, though, RBS is a risk breakdown structure, correct? I understand it has other meanings, but that's true of most acronyms. For example, someone mentioned RAM, which in PM context is a responsibility assignment matrix. In an IT context, it's random access memory.
And for some reason, the discussion around RBS makes me think of ROUS, but I don't believe they exist.

I don't think the young IT folks even use RAM anymore, let alone know what is stands for!

"RAM" (IT) still gets tossed around a lot, especially with the old folks like me. It's become synonymous with any type of temporary memory, the way "Band-Aid" is used to describe any type of adhesive bandage.
I wonder how often "RAM" (PM) is used. We recently went through the exercise to create a RAM because we needed to resolve some communications issues with the team, but everyone called it a RACI (RACI being a specific type of RAM). I'm not sure how many people would know when I meant if I said we needed to build a RAM.

RBS OR RISK BREAKDOWN STRUCTURE RBS is an hierarchical representation of risks, starting from higher levels and going down to finer level risks.
OBS OR ORGANIZATION BREAKDOWN STRUCTURE Organization Breakdown Structure or OBS is a hierarchical model describing the established organizational framework for project planning, resource management, time and expense tracking, cost allocation, revenue/profit reporting, and work management.
WBS OR WORK BREAKDOWN STRUCTURE Work Breakdown Structure or WBS is a key project deliverable that organizes the team’s work into manageable sections. The Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) defines the work breakdown structure as a “deliverable oriented hierarchical decomposition of the work to be executed by the project team.
RBS OR RESOURCE BREAKDOWN STRUCTURE In project management, the resource breakdown structure (RBS) is a hierarchical list of resources related by function and resource type that is used to facilitate planning and controlling of project work. Saving Changes...
