Abstract
This paper is concerned with the risks associated with the software development process. A model (GRisk-Model) is proposed for the management of such risks and a software tool (GRisk-Tool), developed to support the model, is described. Both the method and the tool were created with the participation of senior managers and software engineers of software factories. The model and the tool serve as effective instruments for achieving the continuous improvement of software processes and products.
