The naturally occurring work effort in the development of a software feature - even if we've built the feature before - is an irreducible uncertainty. The risk is created when we have not accounted for this natural variances in our management plan for the project. An aleatory risk is expressed as a relation to a value.

Risk interaction within systems and subsystems, between functional and physical elements, can also be modeled with DSM. DSM models interacting risks in a graphical representation produce numerical simulations of the risk and impacts on the probability of program success. Traditional risk models cannot model loops.
