Analysis of Software Project Risk Managers Based On Their Work and Responsibilities

Manjula R., Vamsi Krishna Reddy, Varshan Chowdary

Abstract


Commonly, people use the term risk manager in different branches of science to represent the person who is responsible for activities which involves and handles risk management. But, in the branch of software engineering the definition for the risk manager is not well defined and there is always some insufficiency over this term. So the main objective of the paper is to classify the software project risk managers based on their roles and responsibilities by reviewing the literature accordingly to make the terms easily understandable. 


Keywords
