Abstract
For the management of the software development projects, the project managers (PMs) need to detect the fatal project risks as early as possible and to do something. They first list the possible problems and manage them as the risk items of their projects. In usual projects, PMs often list the project risk items at the beginning of their projects by referring to the problems of the previous relational projects. However, even the veteran PMs of the projects may make leaky lists of the project risk items. In this paper, we propose the support system for listing the project risk items. The system extracts high possible problems of the new project from the minutes of its previous similar projects and gives them to the users. The users list the project risk items referring to the output of the system at the beginning of the project. In the result of our evaluation experiment, we found that PMs can reduce the leaky lists of the projects risk items by using the traditional way of listing in combination with the proposal system.
