Risk Reduction for Mission Critical Systems
Risk Reduction – what does that mean?
- Which risks are we referring to, what’s the impact, and how are they reduced?
- Advantu Risk Reduction Program Benefits (<- click Benefits)
Risks inherent with development of software applications, devices and integrated systems
- System failures caused by inadequately tested embedded devices and integrated systems
- Client confidence lost due to Cybersecurity breaches and consumer data exposure
- Spiraling costs caused by late issue detection and resolution when adding new features
- Lawsuits due to system failures and performance / reliability issues
- Major accounts lost due to technical project delays and constantly slipping delivery dates
How does the risk reduction program work?
One – identify all high risk areas within the application, device and system
Two – create ‘what if’ scenarios for all high risk features and functionality
Three – convert all ‘what if’ scenarios into use cases (for R&D/QA teams)
Four – prioritize all scenarios/use cases utilizing probability versus impact process
Five – feed high risk scenarios/use cases directly into R&D and QA Plans
Six – keep entire project team tightly focused on high risk plans and tasks until release
Seven – update process documentation for ongoing team training
