Abstract


This paper shows a method of software project risk management, called No-Risk, conceived from a developed preliminary study in the form of a searches applied the project managers. Such study had as objective to identify which they are the relevant risk factors in projects of this nature, associates to the cost, schedule and quality dimensions. This method was elaborated for integration with the software development process of a information technology company.
Keywords: Risk management, Software projects, Risk factors, Software development
