Construction of Risk Pattern Base and Its Application to Risk Identification in a Practical Class on Project-Based Development(<Special Issue>Risk of Project and Organization)

Abstract

We propose a database of risk patterns, named risk pattern base. We have implemented a risk pattern base with 350 risk patterns of twelve fields. As an application of the risk pattern base, we have developed a tool to support risk identification in a practical class on project-based development. We have also performed an experiment to evaluate the tool and the risk pattern base. As a result, this tool enabled students to identify average 9.7 typical risks and 18.3 untypical risks. This result shows the effectiveness of the risk pattern base.
