Download or read book Project Risk Management written by Kurt J. Engemann and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-03-08 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Managing risk is essential for every organization. However, significant opportunities may be lost by concentrating on the negative aspects of risk without bearing in mind the positive attributes. The objective of Project Risk Management: Managing Software Development Risk is to provide a distinct approach to a broad range of risks and rewards associated with the design, development, implementation and deployment of software systems. The traditional perspective of software development risk is to view risk as a negative characteristic associated with the impact of potential threats. The perspective of this book is to explore a more discerning view of software development risks, including the positive aspects of risk associated with potential beneficial opportunities. A balanced approach requires that software project managers approach negative risks with a view to reduce the likelihood and impact on a software project, and approach positive risks with a view to increase the likelihood of exploiting opportunities. Project Risk Management: Managing Software Development Risk explores software development risk both from a technological and business perspective. Issues regarding strategies for software development are discussed and topics including risks related to technical performance, outsourcing, cybersecurity, scheduling, quality, costs, opportunities and competition are presented. Bringing together concepts across the broad spectrum of software engineering with a project management perspective, this volume represents both a professional and scholarly perspective on the topic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together The Open Group s set of publications addressing risk management, which have been developed and approved by The Open Group. It is presented in three parts: The Technical Standard for Risk Taxonomy Technical Guide to the Requirements for Risk Assessment Methodologies Technical Guide: FAIR ISO/IEC 27005 Cookbook Part 1: Technical Standard for Risk Taxonomy This Part provides a standard definition and taxonomy for information security risk, as well as information regarding how to use the taxonomy. The intended audience for this Part includes anyone who needs to understand and/or analyze a risk condition. This includes, but is not limited to: Information security and risk management professionals Auditors and regulators Technology professionals Management This taxonomy is not limited to application in the information security space. It can, in fact, be applied to any risk scenario. This means the taxonomy to be used as a foundation for normalizing the results of risk analyses across varied risk domains. Part 2: Technical Guide: Requirements for Risk Assessment Methodologies This Part identifies and describes the key characteristics that make up any effective risk assessment methodology, thus providing a common set of criteria for evaluating any given risk assessment methodology against a clearly defined common set of essential requirements. In this way, it explains what features to look for when evaluating the capabilities of any given methodology, and the value those features represent. Part 3: Technical Guide: FAIR ISO/IEC 27005 Cookbook This Part describes in detail how to apply the FAIR (Factor Analysis for Information Risk) methodology to any selected risk management framework. It uses ISO/IEC 27005 as the example risk assessment framework. FAIR is complementary to all other risk assessment models/frameworks, including COSO, ITIL, ISO/IEC 27002, COBIT, OCTAVE, etc. It provides an engine that can be used in other risk models to improve the quality of the risk assessment results. The Cookbook enables risk technology practitioners to follow by example how to apply FAIR to other risk assessment models/frameworks of their choice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents intellectual, innovative, information technologies (I3-technologies) based on logical and probabilistic (LP) risk models. The technologies presented here consider such models for structurally complex systems and processes with logical links and with random events in economics and technology. The volume describes the following components of risk management technologies: LP-calculus; classes of LP-models of risk and efficiency; procedures for different classes; special software for different classes; examples of applications; methods for the estimation of probabilities of events based on expert information. Also described are a variety of training courses in these topics. The classes of risk models treated here are: LP-modeling, LP-classification, LP-efficiency, and LP-forecasting. Particular attention is paid to LP-models of risk of failure to resolve difficult economic and technical problems. Amongst the discussed procedures of I3-technologies are the construction of LP-models, LP-identification of risk models; LP-risk analysis, LP-management and LP-forecasting of risk. The book further considers LP-models of risk of invalidity of systems and processes in accordance with the requirements of ISO 9001-2008, LP-models of bank operational risks in accordance with the requirements of Basel-2, complex risk LP-models for preventing ammunition depot explosions, enterprise electric power supply systems, debugging tests of technical systems, etc. The book also considers LP-models of credit risks, securities portfolios, operational risks in banking, conteraction of bribes and corruption, etc. A number of applications is given to show the effectiveness of risk management technologies. In addition, topics of lectures and practical computer exercises intended for a two-semester course “Risk management technologies” are suggested.

Download or read book A Model for the Management of Technical Risk in New Technology Development Programs written by Peter B. King and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inadequately managed technical risks have resulted in setbacks, failures and operational disasters in Department of Defense programs. Therefore, the purpose of this thesis was to synthesize a model that epitomizes a strategy for the management of technical risk. The model was synthesized using the three- pronged effort of: (1) a literature search and review to determine what previous work was done in risk assessment and risk management, (2) case studies of historical, contemporary and prospective new technology development programs, and (3) interviews predominately with Chief Scientists at the Wright Research and Development Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The model validation was via reviews of the model that were made by the stated interviewees. If the model is used as a technical management guide and decision aid by individual program or project managers at all levels, collective marked improvement in the technical risk management throughout the Department of Defense may be achieved.
