Abstract

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. One of the main focuses throughout the software development life cycle is the risk analysis. Students have to perform weekly risk identification and prepare for risk mitigation. This presentation will discuss analysis results of the top-10 risks from various perspectives such as comparison of risk patterns between development-based projects and COTS-based projects, high score teams and low score teams, and a comparison between risk exposure and risk occurrence.
