    Software Development Risk Management Plan

    with Examples
    Most software engineering projects are risky because of the range of serious potential
    problems that can arise. The primary benefit of risk management is to contain and
    mitigate threats to project success. You have to identify and plan, and then be ready
    to act when a risk arises—drawing upon the experience and knowledge of the entire
    team to minimize the impact to the project. 

    Software Risk management includes the identification and classification of technical,


    programmatic and process risks, which become part of a plan that links each to a
    mitigation strategy. The project manager monitors risk during the project. If any
    materialize, a specific owner implements a mitigating action. In this article, we explain
    the elements of an effective software risk management plan and provide examples of
    plan elements.

    After cataloging risks according to type (technical, project, process, organizational),


    the software development project manager crafts a plan to record and monitor
    these risks. As part of a larger, comprehensive project plan, the risk management
    plan outlines the response that will be taken for each risk—if it materializes. The
    core of the risk management plan is the risk register, which describes and highlights
    the most likely threats to a software project.

    Software Development Risk Register


    To ensure that risks remain in the forefront of project management activities, it’s best
    to keep the risk management plan as simple as possible. For both conventional and
    agile software project management methodologies, a risk register is a proven tool for
    organizing and referring to known projects risks. A comprehensive risk register would
    contain consist of the following attributes:

    Description of risk — Summary description of the risk—easy to understand.

    Recognition Date — Date on which stakeholders identify and acknowledge the risk.

    Probability of occurrence — Estimate of probability that this risk will materialize (%).

    Severity — The intensity of undesirable impact to the project—if the risk materializes.

    Owner — This person monitors the risk and takes action if necessary.

    Action — The contingent response if the risk materializes.

    Status — current team view of the risk: potential, monitoring, occurring, or eliminated. 

    Loss Size — Given in hours or days, this is a measure of the negative impact to the
    project.


    Risk Exposure — Given in hours or days, this is is a product of probability and loss size.
    is assuming as it proceeds with development? By considering alternatives, a
    development team can often achieve (nearly) the same level of reward without nearly
    as much risk. Adoption of this posture will help improve requirements prioritization.

    We hope this article has given you solid guidance on how to plan for risk on software
    development projects. There are many details and subtleties that we don’t have space
    to cover here, but you can find more exploration of this topic and others on our
