Software risks can be defined as uncertainty and loss in project process. Software risk management consists of risk identification, estimation, refinement, mitigation, monitoring and maintenance steps. In this paper,the main focus is on different risk management model and the importance of automated tools in risk managementt. With the automated risk management tool, the prediction of project pr...

Risks inevitably exist in all stages of a project. In construction project, which is highly dynamic and complex, risk factors affect the expected achievement rates three main performance goals, namely schedule, cost, quality. A comprehensive management procedure requires crucial steps: confirmation, analysis, treatment. Risk analysis core management. Through structural equation modeling, this s...

Proper and realistic scheduling is an important factor of success for every project. In reality, project scheduling often involves several objectives that must be realized simultaneously, and faces numerous uncertainties that may undermine the integrity of the devised schedule. Thus, the manner of dealing with such uncertainties is of particular importance for effective planning. A realistic sc...

The paper presents a process model-based approach to software project risk identification. The approach involves explicit modeling of software processes and identifying risk by two dedicated techniques. The paper introduces a meta-model that allows expressing the process risk. Then, two systematic risk identification techniques are proposed and presented in the form of detailed procedures. Both...

This paper conceptualizes software project risk in terms of risk exposure and defines it as an aggregate multidimensional construct comprised of four interrelated dimensions: risk sources, risk events, risk management mechanisms, and expected outcomes. The paper also theorizes about relationships between the four dimensions. Furthermore, it argues that the risk factors identified in the literat...

One certainty in software development is that all projects will have to deal with change. Being able to effectively handle proposed changes is crucial for allowing continued development of a software project to occur. To effectively manage change, developers must assess the risks involved in making the change. To understand the risks, the project manager must determine how the change will affec...

Critical success and failure factors of software projects were extensively studied. However, software project risk management has rarely researched organizational risks even though most problems occur when the social aspects are not addressed. By employing the resistance to change theory, our paper develops an organizational risk diagnosing (ORD) framework in order to show how can organizationa...

Materials and methods We conducted prospective cohort study of patients enrolled in care and treatment facilities in Dar es Salaam from October 2004 to September 2011. LTFU was defined as missing clinic visit for 90 and 180 consecutive days after the last scheduled appointment date among patients on ART and care and monitoring respectively. For univariate and multivariate analysis, Cox proporti...

This paper explores the applicability of the concepts of absorptive capacity and ‘‘ba’’ to ex ante project risk. We develop a hybrid framework to explain knowledge transfer based on these concepts—one that proposes a hybrid transference process. We then apply this framework to develop a methodology and metric for assessing ex ante software project risk, the risk that a new technology introduced...
