Managing risks in Soft ware Process Improvement (SPI) is a key point of software success.A software risk is considered as an essential characteristic of software development process which if ignored will increase the chance of project failure.Fo r this purpose different risk management approaches are developed.These approaches lead to the identification, assessment and control of risk occurrence in software p rojects.Collaborative Pract ice Research (CPR) is one of the action research approaches for managing risk in SPI.In this approach the focus is on gathering informat ion regarding SPI and acknowledging risk manage ment in process development by developing risk assessment strategies and models.The main challenge of this act ion research approach is to validate the developed risk approach.This paper has a critical review on the existing research approach i.e.CPR.It also provides an enhanced form of CPR wh ich mod ifies the current CPR approach by including a risk validation activ ity.
