E-RISK: Evidence-based risk management in global software development projects

        

This project has received funding from the European Union Seventh Framework programme (FP7/2007-2013) under grant agreement no. PIIF-GA-2009-253754.

The project has three overall aims:

(1) To support project managers in assessing the risks involved in global software engineering projects and to determine suitable risk mitigation practices.

(2) To train the incoming research fellow in evidence-based techniques and transfer the fellow’s knowledge in global software project management risk to the host institution.

(3) To assess the extent to which expertise in an SE topic can be successfully combined with expertise in the systematic literature review technique.
