This article is an open access publication  \nAbstract Risk management is an important process in Software Engineering. However, it can be perceived as somewhat contrary to the more lightweight processes used in Agile methods. Thus an appropriate and realistic risk management model is required as well as tool support that minimizes human effort. We propose the use of software agents to carry out risk management tasks and make use of the data collected from the project environment to detect risks. This paper describes the underlying risk management model in an Agile risk tool where software agents are used to support identification, assessment and monitoring of risk. It demonstrates the interaction between agents, agents’compliance with designated rules and how agents can react to changes in project environment data. The results, demonstrated using case studies, show that agents are of use for detecting risk and r","cbCaiekIGUQjWh4a","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiekIGUQjWh4a","pdf",2630391,10,22,"English","# Abstract\n# Keywords\n# Introduction\n## Risk management context in Agile\n## Proposed agent-based approach","[{\"question\":\"Why is risk management challenging in Agile development?\",\"answer\":\"Agile methods rely on lightweight, iterative processes, which can be perceived as contrary to more plan-driven risk management practices.\"},{\"question\":\"What role do software agents play in the proposed approach?\",\"answer\":\"Software agents carry out risk identification, assessment, and monitoring using data collected from the project environment.\"},{\"question\":\"How do agents handle changes in project environment data?\",\"answer\":\"The model specifies compliance with designated rules, enabling agents to react dynamically when project-environment data changes, as shown in case studies.\"}]","Agile risk management using software agents - Original research | PDF",1789192030,8]
