Enhanced Risk Analysis-Relative Impact Factorization

Abstract

Software engineering is an area of development which always has the risk factor present and software engineering can hardly be done on some straight line. So, the manager has to handle the dynamically changing circumstances in order to complete the job. The target of development team is to develop the software according to the requirements within specified time. Wide variety of risks I are present that may grab the development effort. A good manager must ensure that all measures have been taken against the risks that may possibly come. This paper focuses on determining the relative impact of risk factors on the software development activities. Relative impact ratio ensures to determine the direct and indirect impacts of a risk on all activities of software development.
