Risk management Risk management is concerned with identifying risks and drawing up plans to minimise their effect on a project. A risk is a probability that some adverse circumstance will occur Project risks affect schedule or resources; Product risks affect the quality or performance of the software being developed; Business risks affect the organisation developing or procuring the software. PVK-HT06
6
Top Ten Project Risks Staff deficiencies
Unrealistic schedules and budgets Developing the wrong functions Developing the wrong interface Over-engineering Changing requirements Externally developed items Externally performed tasks Performance problems Assumptions on technology PVK-HT06
7
Risk management requirements
Risk impact: the loss associated with the event Risk probability: the likelihood that the event will occur Risk control: the degree to which we can change the outcome Risk exposure = (risk probability) x (risk impact) PVK-HT06

Define Work Breakdown Structure
Activity Major work unit Start date End date Consumes resources Results in work products (and milestones) Project function Continue throughout the project Not bound to specific phases Step 1 Step 2 Activity 1 Activity 2 Activity 3 Phase 1 Step 1 Step 2 Activity 1 Activity 2 Task 1 Task 2 Task 3 Project Phase 2 Step 1 Step 2 Phase N PVK-HT06
9
Schedule Activities Almost all activities depend on the completion of some other activities Many activities can be performed in parallel Organisation necessary to balance work-load, costs, and duration PERT chart (activity network/task graph) Critical path Project Time-line (Gantt chart) Resource table PVK-HT06
10
PERT Charts Program Evaluation and Review Technique Graph Compute
Nodes = activities/tasks and estimated duration Edges = dependencies Compute Slack time = available time - estimated duration Critical path A path is critical when it contains an activity that, if delayed, will cause a delay of the whole project. PVK-HT06
11
Example PERT Chart PVK-HT06
12
Gantt charts A Gantt chart is used to graphically present the start and end dates of each software engineering task One axis shows time. The other axis shows the activities that will be performed. The black bars are the top-level tasks. The white bars are subtasks The diamonds are milestones: Important deadline dates, at which specific events may occur PVK-HT06

Cost Estimation Approach Problems: Use empirical and historical data
Decompose problem Check for experiences/ data on sub problems Make qualified estimations (Make at least two independent estimates) Problems: What are good measures? Do the estimates affect the result? Does the type of software affect the result? Does the project environment affect the result? ... Use empirical and historical data Algorithmic cost modelling COCOMO (based on LOC) FP (based on function points) PVK-HT06
16
COCOMO Constructive Cost Modelling [Boehm 81]
Based on publicly available historical data of 63 TRW projects Basic assumptions: Requirements change only slightly during the project There is good project management The historical data is representative Assigning more resources to the project does NOT result in linear decreasing development time PVK-HT06
17
Basic Model Effort = a (KDSI)b Schedule = c (Effort)d a b c d 2.4
KDSI = Kilo Delivered Source Instructions ( LOC - comments) The a, b, c, and d factors vary depending on the type of project Effort is measured in PM (Person Months = 152h of work) Schedule is the Development Time measured in Months a b c d 2.4 3.0 3.6 1.05 1.12 1.20 2.5 0.38 0.35 0.32 Organic In-house IS, Development in a familiar environment Semi-detached Between OM- and EM projects Embedded Large and inexperienced teams, many constraints PVK-HT06 Boehm, Software Engineering Economics, Prentice-Hall, 1981.
18
Example Size = 30000 LOC = 30KLOC Effort = 2.4 * (30)1.05 = 85 PM
Schedule = 2.5 * (85) = 13.5 Months => Avg. staffing: 85/13.5 = 6.3 persons ??? => Avg. productivity: 30000/85 = 353 LOC/PM Compare: Semi-detached: 135 PM M persons Embedded: 213 PM M persons PVK-HT06
19
COCOMO II Goal: To develop a software cost and schedule estimation model tuned to the life cycle practices of the 1990’s and 2000’s 3 Models Application Composition: prototyping to resolve high-risk user interface issues, 2 environment drivers, 0 process drivers, Sizing in Object Points Early Design Model: to explore alternative architectures and concepts,7 environment drivers, 5 process drivers, Sizing in Function Points or SLOC Post Architecture Model: development has begun, 17 environment drivers, 5 process drivers, Sizing in Function Points or SLOC PVK-HT06
20

COCOMO II summary COCOMO II
allow for spiral model instead of waterfall model only Size of project can be listed as object points, function points or source lines of code (SLOC) The environmental multipliers are calculated from seventeen cost drivers better suited for today's methods Calibration is difficult, but can improve accuracy by a factor of five PVK-HT06
23
Function Points Function Point Analysis (FPA) measures the size of a software product in terms of the functionality it delivers to the users. A.J. Albrecht 1979 What the software must do from the user’s perspective Irrespective of software construction Based on five function types: Inputs Outputs Inquiries Logic Files Interfaces PVK-HT06

Difficulties and Risks in Project Management
Accurately estimating costs is a constant challenge It is very difficult to measure progress and meet deadlines It is difficult to deal with lack of human resources or technology needed to successfully run a project Communicating effectively in a large project is hard It is hard to obtain agreement and commitment from others PVK-HT06
