Managing risks is crucial in the development of safe and reliable products. Thoroughly identifying, analyzing, and controlling all the potential ways your product could fail (overall referred to as risk management) will increase the quality of any product, but is even more important in the context of safety-critical development. In an Agile environment with self-governing teams, implementing adequate risk management processes throughout the lifecycle can be a challenge. Our webinar helps you to learn more about managing risks in general, and how to make sure all risks are considered and covered when developing software with Agile teams. During this webinar, we also discusses the practical side of implementing comprehensive risk management processes in an Agile environment.
