The Risk Landscape

[robmoffat]

As well as promoting a risk-oriented approach to delivering software projects, one of the main things I'm trying to achieve with risk-first is a vocabulary with which we can talk about different software-related risks.

After all, other industries have this: I can buy "life insurance", "contents insurance", "buildings insurance" etc. which are all ways to manage different kinds of risk by the insurance industry.

With this in mind, The Risk Landscape breaks down some of the common risks we see when developing software.

I'd be really keen to get some feedback on this page:

• Have I captured the most important categories?
• What did I miss?
• Have I given them useful, memorable names?

thanks!
