A look at software engineering risks in a team project course
Supannika Koolmanojwong, BARRY W. BOEHM · 2013
Risk identification, management, and mitigation are essential to the success of any software development projects. At the University of Southern California (USC), CSCI577ab is a graduate level software engineering course sequence that teaches the best software engineering practices, and allows students to apply the learned knowledge in developing real-client projects. This paper analyzes the risks encountered by teams, identifies the relationships between effective risk analysis and the success of the project, and discusses how risk patterns determine the student's course of action. This paper also reports the top risks of software development in the software engineering class.
