The Incompleteness of the Risk Assessment Methods

Abstract

Risk assessment methods are one of the most important elements in the process of risk management. These methods consider numerous aspects while assessing and estimating the risks. Since software development is a human intensive activity, diverse factors related to human behavior also play a key role in this situation. Software risk assessment methods should take into account all these factors in combination to each other. This paper analyses the current risk assessment methods for their consideration of human factors. Only by taking the software development process within its real complexity, which means not only software and hardware resources but also the humans as a corn bean could be achieved a satisfactory level of the risk assessment process.
