Exploring the risks that ruin software projects
What Is It?
We can look at software projects in terms of risks.
We can break down risks on a project methodically.
We can analyse tools and techniques in terms of how well they manage risk.

How Does It Work?
Risk-First takes the view that a project's Goals are obstructed by Risks. These risks can be managed by Software Development Practices, which are often packaged up as different methodologies (think Scrum, XP, Lean, DevOps), or Risk Frameworks as we call them here.
But in order to meet your projects' goals, you'll have to choose the right practices to tackle the most important risks.
That's Risk Management
