Risk Management
The practice of identifying, prioritizing, reducing, and communicating risks before they become failures.
Motivation
Risk Management matters because it gives teams a concrete way to reason about the practice of identifying, prioritizing, reducing, and communicating risks before they become failures.
Where it fits
Risk Management belongs to the management track and the Requirements And Planning layer.
Mental model
Use Risk Management as a practical engineering concept: identify the boundary it affects, the risk it reduces, and the tradeoff it introduces.
Common mistakes
- Treating the concept as a label instead of connecting it to behavior.
- Applying it everywhere without considering cost and context.
