A framework for risk management in Scrum development process

Since the beginning of 2000, the software industry has turned a corner to adopting agile lightweight methods that are subject to change at a more efficient pace; in addition, risk management is generally not explicitly addressed in agile projects. So agile teams generally do not use an intentional risk management approach. Although agile methodologies tend to manage project risk implicitly, it is important to have an appropriate risk management mechanism in agile methodologies.Therefore, in this paper a framework for integrating risk management in the agile development projects is proposed while considering Scrum as an agile method and the PMBOK as a project risk management guide. The main goals of this framework are to improve the risk management mechanism in Scrum and to increase the Scrum project's success rate. (C) 2019 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
