Risk isn't something that just appears in a report, it actually drives everything we do: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA story about improving the user login screen can be seen as reducing the risk of users not signing up.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e If we write unit tests, we're tackling the risk of bugs going to production, but we're also defending against the risk of future changes breaking our existing functionality.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA task about improving the health indicators could be seen as addressing the risk of the application failing and no-one reacting to it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImplementing a new function in the application is fixing the risk that users are dissatisfied and go elsewhere.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eRisk-First makes the case that better understanding the nature of these risks is critical to building software in the complex, interconnected domain we work in.About The Menagerie: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is volume one of the Risk-First series, introducing the case for viewing all of the activities on a software project as \u003ci\u003eattempting to manage risk.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt introduces the menagerie of different risks you're likely to meet on a software project, naming and classifying them so that we can try to understand them better.The book aims to develop a Pattern Language for understanding software risk, and develop a practical framework for discussing how the activities we take on a project change the balance of the risks we are exposed to.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore information here: https: \/\/riskfirst.org\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45540375232663,"sku":"9781717491855","price":2172.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781717491855.webp?v=1767904355","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/risk-first-software-development-volume-1-the-menagerie-9781717491855","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
