  • Method for reducing risk associated with a task
    Patent number: 8478627
    Abstract: A method and system of reducing risk in the life cycle of a product, in one aspect, obtain one or more tasks required to achieve an overall task, determine risk impact of each task, the risk impact being an impact of each task on the likelihood of failure for the overall task and compute risk of overall task based on risk impacts of the tasks. The method and system utilize said risk impact of each task to schedule the tasks in such a way so as to reduce said risk of overall task as rapidly as possible.
    Type: Grant

  • Method and apparatus for automated risk assessment in software projects
    Publication number: 20050283751
    Abstract: A method, information processing system and computer readable medium for assessing risk in a software development project. The method includes receiving software project data for assessing risks in a software development project and identifying a plurality of focus areas for analysis. The method further includes defining a set of analysis tasks for each focus area and creating one or more rule sets for each analysis task, each rule set comprising one or more rules including software project data. The method further includes evaluating each rule set against the software project data summarizing results of evaluating each rule set corresponding to an analysis task. The method further includes providing a risk assessment value for each analysis task using the results of the summarizing element.
