Risk Management

Risk management involves identifying, assessing, and mitigating potential risks that could impact the success of a software project. It includes steps like risk identification, analysis, prioritization, and implementing strategies to minimize or address those risks. Effective risk management helps ensure the project stays on track and delivers the desired outcomes.
