Technical Risk Estimation

In this project, we are attempting to provide a technique and tool to allow early estimation of technical risk—the product of the probability that a change will be need and the cost of that change—that can be used for vertical communication within an organization.

The basic concept has been published. We are also pursuing a variety of refinements to our basic technique and tool.
