Abstract

We have constructed software project risk radars to guide us in prioritisation and initiation of risk mitigation actions. Focus of this paper is on measurement of various software project risks, and representation of these various risks through a variety of risk radars. The paper first examines software project risks reported in literature and classifies software project risks into major categories. We then discuss methods that can be used to quantitatively assess these risks; and introduce several new concepts such as fuzzy risk TOPSIS, logistic and lag indicators of software project risks. A comparison of these methods is presented. We also introduce an innovative framework for risk reporting that has been named the 'risk radar'. Utility of 'radar' format to graphically depict software project risks, and its effectiveness as a multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) method is illustrated through examples that demonstrate the use of different radar formats.
