Risk management

If you don’t take risks you will make a trivial product, and that makes new product development inherently risky. A thorough analysis of risks, from high-level to very operative-level , is therefore essential.

The risk analysis approach of classical project management is very valid, and the path proposed here of integrating its management within the Backlog allows it to fit perfectly within the agile approach.

The agile approach itself helps us tremendously because, by proceeding in small steps, it actually reduces risk. If we add to this a highlighting of critical stories, we arrive at effective micro-risk management. All of which consequently enables the possibility of strong delegation.
