This blog page is dedicated to the resources used to manage the risk encountered on software-intensive systems using traditional and agile development methods. Let's start with a critical understanding of the purpose of managing risk on software development projects. IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering , Vol.

Accuracy - how close is the estimate to the actual value? So in the end, if we are to make a decision in the presence of uncertainty, we MUST make estimates to develop a reliable shipping date while producing an accurate and precise estimate of the cost, schedule, and technical performance of the product shipped on that date.

Software development project schedule estimation has long been a difficult problem. Instead, it suggests the Cone of Uncertainty is not the proper model for software estimating, with no evidence other than anecdotal examples from observed projects. This approach ignores the core principle of closed loop control.

” I was reminded of the old joke by a recent article by John Regehr, Professor of Computer Science at the University of Utah, entitled “Closing the Loop: The Importance of External Engagement in Computer Science Research.” In 2012, I wrote a blog post entitled “Delivering provably-correct code.”

It just closed the loop faster. So here are some books, handbooks, and guides that sit on my shelf that are used pretty much all the time on the Software Intensive System of Systems we work on. Foundations of Risk Management, 2nd Edition, Terje Aven, John Wiley & Sons, 2012. This is good, but it doesn't reduce risk.
