A Study on Risk Assessment for Small and Medium Software Development Projects

Generally, in software development, there
are large, medium, and small software
projects that each of them can be affected or
influenced by a risk. Therefore, it requires a
distinctive assessment process of the
potential risks that may cause failure or loss
of the project whenever they occur. From
the literature, there are actually number of
risk assessment researches conducted toward
software projects. However, there are at
least view researches being focused on risk
assessment of small and medium software
projects. These particularly results in a gap
to the risk assessment research area that may
lead to a lot of small and medium project not
having risk assessment. For that reason, the
main target of the article is to give
researchers an insight on the current level of
risk assessment for small and medium
software development projects. Finally,
some future directions will be discussed
hoping to insight the gap in the risk
assessment field for small and medium
software development projects.
