Abstract

Existing systems may be considered as an asset and the software manager should consider seriously the risks of maintenance and ensure that the value of software is maximized in terms of customer benefit.

The results of the trial have led to the development of an integrated risk management process. It is concluded that risk management is an essential element of software maintenance management best-practice
