What is Risk?
“Risk are future uncertain events with a probability of
occurrence and a potential for loss”

Risk identification and management are the main concerns in
every software project. Effective analysis of software
risks will help to effective planning and assignments of
work.

In this article I will cover what are the “types of risks”.
In next articles I will try to focus on risk
identification, risk management and mitigation.

Risks are identified, classified and managed before actual
execution of program. These risks are classified in
different categories.

Categories of risks:

release risks are not addressed properly.

company economy and may lead to project failure.
Schedules often slip due to following reasons:

staff, systems, skills of individuals etc.

required to develop those functionalities.
Unexpected project scope expansions.

Causes of Operational risks:

and performance.
