Study Notes
- Risk management in software engineering involves strategies such as avoidance, minimization, and contingency plans to address different types of risks like technology, people, organizational, tools, requirements, and estimation risks.
- Key risk factors in software projects include late delivery of hardware or support software, technology problems, poor staff morale, organizational issues, reluctance to use tools, and changes in requirements.
- Good project management is crucial for project success in software engineering due to the intangible nature of software, and managers play diverse roles focusing on planning, estimating, and scheduling throughout the project lifecycle.
- Risks in software projects can be project risks (affecting schedule or resources), product risks (affecting quality or performance), or business risks (affecting the organization).
- The risk management process involves identifying, analyzing, planning, and monitoring risks related to technology, people, organizational aspects, requirements, and estimation in software projects.
