Risk Management Resources

Herding Cats

Risk Management is essential for development and production programs. Risk issues that can be identified early in the program, which will potentially impact the program later, termed Known Unknowns and can be alleviated with good risk management. Effective Risk Management 2 nd Edition , Edmund Conrow, AIAA, 2003.

Misunderstanding Making Decisions in the Presence of Uncertainty

Herding Cats

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.

Estimating is a Learned Skill

The primary purpose of software estimation is not to predict a project’s outcome; it is to determine whether a project’s targets are realistic enough to allow the project to be controlled to meet them ‒ Steve McConnell.

What’s Worse Than Not Automating Your Software Delivery Pipeline?

Leading Agile

But there’s a risk that people will get excited about automation and get ahead of themselves. Including appropriate tooling in the automated CI process covers most of the remaining risks in this area. No one can check for unknown issues, even using manual methods, so no risk is introduced by automating this step.
