As a software development leader in your organization, you need to be confident that your project teams can not only identify and analyze project risks but that the risks explicitly drive project plans, that risks are actively attacked and continuously monitored, and that risk mitigation is demonstrated with working software. Join Ivar Jacobson International as Ivar Jacobson and IJI's Senior Consultant Minton Brooks reveal* how high-performing software development teams continuously monitor and actively attack project risks by: • Applying a risk-driven lifecycle pattern • Mapping risks to iterations to ensure progressive reduction • Driving an iteration plan from your top ten risks • Identifying scenarios that will force a risk to be confronted • Reducing risks by involving stakeholders early to identify problems, needs, and desired outcomes • Explicitly demonstrating technical risk reduction with working software • Measuring risk exposure / recognizing unhealthy risk exposure profiles • Understanding valid states of a risk • Avoiding common mistakes in risk management
