The sprint planning meeting is the key meeting where the risks are identified. These risks are
mostly related to the stories/software features that will be developed in the coming sprint. Based
on the risk-story prioritization technique [20], the high-risk stories should be selected first and
developed first. All the risks related to the developing features should be adequately assessed and
evaluated by the development team. The risk attributes that are mostly used are: risk exposure,
mitigation actions, likelihood, responsible person and financial impact (based on authors’ survey).
The weekly status meeting should contain the review of the current sprint risks. This meeting
should be led by the project manager. The Scrum master should also participate in this meeting
because he/she has the overview of the risks and other impediments the development team is
facing to. It is a good practise to invite also risk actionees who can comment on progress for the
critical risks or risks with the lowest risk proximity. As a suitable technique for reviewing the
total sprint risk exposure can be the risk burndown chart [21].
