Abstract

This paper discusses a different approach to managing risk in a man-rated software system. This approach emphasizes identifying and targeting the right risks in order to apply effective mitigation activities. It addresses the risk of not understanding the customer wishes, of unreliable software product, and selection of inappropriate reuse. When the right risks are identified with sufficient granularity, resources can be focused on mitigating only those risks. Resources are not spent mitigating general risks or non-risks. The cost can be more correctly estimated and overruns controlled.
