[comp.software-eng] SOftware Development Risks

schultz@grebyn.com (Ronald Schultz) (05/04/90)

I am currently working on a risk management strategy for the
development of a large COBOL application.  Can someone help me
with what they believe to be are the most significant risks
associated with software development, and possible risk
mitigation strategies ?

Examples are:  Gold-plating and creeping featurism, both
mitigated by the establishing and enforcing of a requirements
database.


Also, I know Barry Boehm as well as other authors wrote a number
of articles on this area.  Can someone please point me to the
references.

I will post a summary of responses to the net

Thanx.
