Risk management has an increasing importance in the domain of software project management because it has direct effects on the project success. Therefore, software organizations are challenged to achieve effective and efficient risk management. Measuring risks in software development is a main activity that must be performed in risk management. Risk measurement is one of the hot topics that need more efforts, especially in the environment of multiple software projects. Multiple projects environment include many projects that may share recourses. This paper conducts a structured literature review to find patterns or trends in software development for measuring project risk. It aims to reveal the aspects of risk measurement process, risk indicators, and different scales of software projects. This paper provides a proposed framework for risk assessment in multiple projects environment with shared recourses for different scales at organizations of various capacities.
Number of risks occurs for the development of successful software project. Sometimes it disturbs the schedule of whole project that result in the increase of cost. Therefore, the avoidance and mitigation strategies are used to overcome the effect of risk in the project. If software team use proactive approach then avoidance is the optimize solution but not all the risk can be avoided then it have to mitigate, and when risk become a reality, contingency plan has developed. The intention of this paper is to highlight number of risks, their arising issue and how to resolve them.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
