Risk Assessed [Or is that Obsessed!]

I am always asked how to balance business risk and technical risk on projects. Most of the business risks are more important than technical risk but try telling that to the kids with the keys to the car.

Technology risk is usually one of the failure of imagination. The evils of functional decomposition rise up on every software project. Attack that risk today and you’ll earn your pay tomorrow!

More on this insidious practice later. But please promise me you’ll look into logical composition right away. If there is one thing you can do for your project right now, its avoid “thinking inside the box.”
