Software development risk management model: a goal driven approach

Abstract

Software development project is often faced with unanticipated problems which pose any potential risks within the development environment. Controlling these risks arises from both the technical and non-technical development components already from the early stages of the development is crucial to arrive at a successful project. Therefore, software development risk management is becoming recognized as a best practice in the software industry for reducing these risks before they occur. This thesis contributes for a goal-driven software development risk management model to assess and manage software development risk within requirement engineering phase.
