Ask HN: Modern equivalent to Waltzing with Bears: Managing Risk on Software

1 points by chrisdbanks 2 years ago | 3 comments

I love Waltzing with Bears: Managing Risk on Software Projects. But it's 20 years old now. Is there a more modern book that helps to explain to software teams all the risks inherent in software projects and gives advice on how to avoid them? e.g. scope creep?

Risk is an economic factor and thus applies to software no differently than management and manufacturing. The technical field best at describing risk is security management, but that will be far too heavy to teach risk in isolation.

Why do you need a more modern book? What has changed about software projects in the last 20 years?

Waterfall is less common. The cloud exists. Some pretty major things.
