Coordinate metrics and process model to manage software project risk

Purpose of this paper is to analyze and evaluate risks in software development process quantitatively; evaluate risks influence upon project's object, and assist management decision based on risks. The primary content of this paper is to discuss the software metrics space which support software process modeling and risk quantitative analysis, research modeling method for software process and discuss risk management method under the risk management framework of coordinating software metrics and process model. The authors bring forward software project risk management framework coordinating software metrics and process model, present a new software metrics hypercube space, construct software process two level hybrid model based on general stochastic Petri net, and suggest risk management technique coordinating software metrics and software process model
