An Adaptive Framework for Risk Management in Agile Methodology

Abstract

Software companies face numerous risks during the software development process. For example, Yemen Soft Company faced many risks such as schedule risks, budget risks, and lack of staff knowledge, particularly when using Agile methodology due to their dynamic nature. This dynamism makes it challenging for development teams to anticipate and effectively manage potential risks. The Agile approach's focus on speed sometimes impedes a comprehensive risk assessment, making it challenging to prioritize and address risks effectively. Ignoring these risks during software development can significantly impact product quality and customer satisfaction, potentially causing severe damage to both companies and clients. In this research, we presented an adaptive framework for risk management in the agile method for software development. In general, the extent of risk management application in software companies that use the agile method in building software was studied, identifying the risks likely to occur and their impact on the project, and then proposing a risk management framework that helps reduce risks and reduce risks. Its impact on the quality of the software product. Through the research, The research results show that the proposed framework is important and effective for risk management in the agile approach.
