The major innovation is to guide the development process with
strong basis in risk analysis and development planning. Risks are
adverse circumstances that can appear during the software
development, impeding the process or reducing the quality of the
product. Examples of risks are: people that abandon the
development team, tools that cannot be used, flaws in equipments
used in the development or those they will be used in the final
product, etc. The identification and management of risks is an
important activity in software development today
