The risk associated with application development seems to rise exponentially with complexity. While it may seem hopeless, there are some things that you can do to mitigate your risks. From a process perspective, perhaps the most important risk mitigation involves moving risk to the front of the schedule, reducing your risk in three ways:
· Improving knowledge. The biggest risks will always be associated with the unknown. Earlier knowledge will allow you to make more informed decisions and better schedules through the remainder of development cycle.
· Allowing recovery time. If you’re going to fail, it’s better to fail early, while there’s
still time to recover.
· Involving the customer early. Your customer’s response to a user interface or key capability can dramatically impact the direction of a project. Inspiring confidence early improves your relationships.
