Summary of the subject: The discipline provides for the study of the main problems of managing the software development process of a given quality, the problems of software development risk management, the features of assessing the risks of the implementation of software projects and their management, the features of decision-making under the condition of uncertainty of input information, the methods of analysis and quantitative assessment of software development risks, the features of risk analysis of the IT project management process, modern models and methods of software development risk management and formalization of their management process, management of the software development process and its risks thanks to IBM Rational products. The description of the idea of each method is supplemented by a specific example of its use. Along with the ideas of general risk management, it is important to understand and manage risks unique to software engineering activities, for example, the tendency to add functional and other capabilities to the resulting software product that are not defined at the requirements level or risks inherent in the very nature of software, such as associated, first of all, with its complexity and architectural and technological innovation, present to one degree or another in any software project. This area of knowledge deals with issues of detection (identification), analysis, assessment and compensation of risks. Students familiarize themselves with risk classifications according to PMBOK and SEI.

Assessment methods and criteria: 1. Questioning in laboratory classes.
2. Control tests in laboratory classes.
3. Labs defense.
4. Examination control (written component (tests), oral component).
Критерії оцінювання результатів навчання: 1. Laboratory works - 35 points
2. Control tests in laboratory classes - 10 points
Total for PC – 45 points
Examination control: 55% (written part 50%, spoken part 5%)
Each laboratory work takes two weeks. If its defence is delayed, a student loses one point per each week of delay.
Порядок та критерії виставляння балів та оцінок: 100–88 points – (“excellent”) is awarded for a high level of knowledge (some inaccuracies are allowed) of the educational material of the component contained in the main and additional recommended literary sources, the ability to analyze the phenomena being studied in their interrelationship and development, clearly, succinctly, logically, consistently answer the questions, the ability to apply theoretical provisions when solving practical problems; 87–71 points – (“good”) is awarded for a generally correct understanding of the educational material of the component, including calculations, reasoned answers to the questions posed, which, however, contain certain (insignificant) shortcomings, for the ability to apply theoretical provisions when solving practical tasks; 70 – 50 points – (“satisfactory”) awarded for weak knowledge of the component's educational material, inaccurate or poorly reasoned answers, with a violation of the sequence of presentation, for weak application of theoretical provisions when solving practical problems; 49-26 points - ("not certified" with the possibility of retaking the semester control) is awarded for ignorance of a significant part of the educational material of the component, significant errors in answering questions, inability to apply theoretical provisions when solving practical problems; 25-00 points - ("unsatisfactory" with mandatory re-study) is awarded for ignorance of a significant part of the educational material of the component, significant errors in answering questions, inability to navigate when solving practical problems, ignorance of the main fundamental provisions.
