Managing Risk: Methods for Software Systems Development

Epilogue

Managing Risk: Methods for Software Systems Development introduces three new methods to promote understanding of software risk management: the 6-D Model, the P²I² Success Formula, and the Risk Management Map. The 6-D Model extends the Deming PDCA cycle by adding the ability to reveal risk and opportunity. Conceptually more powerful than a Turing machine, the 6-D Model is a requisite set of properly coordinated disciplines because it describes the four quadrants of human awareness. The ability to perceive risk exists in our right brain, where there is no faculty for processing speech. Perhaps that is why we often make decisions based on a few facts loaded with emotion. The P²I² Success Formula is a cause-effect diagram that relates the ...
