%0 Journal Article %T RISK MANAGEMENT MEASURES IN CMMI %A Mahmoud Khraiwesh %J International Journal of Software Engineering & Applications %D 2012 %I Academy & Industry Research Collaboration Center (AIRCC) %X Risk management is a continuous process that could endanger the objectives of a project or application.Risks are handled to reduce and avoid threats effects on the objectives of the project. The sources of riskare both internal and external to the project. This research will identify general measures for the specificgoal and its specific practices of Risk Management Process Area (PA) in Capability Maturity ModelIntegration (CMMI). CMMI is developed by Software Engineering Institute (SEI) in Carnegie MellonUniversity in USA. CMMI is a framework for improvement and assessment of computer informationsystems. The method we used to define the measures is to apply the Goal Questions Metrics (GQM)paradigm to the specific goals and its specific practices of Risk Management Process Area in CMMI. %K Risk Management %K Measures %K CMMI %K GQM. %U http://airccse.org/journal/ijsea/papers/3112ijsea11.pdf
