Abstract
Abstract Multiple project management currently is a reality in software development environments. In tactical and strategic context, the management of only one single project does not exist, and it is necessary the execution of projects simultaneously in order to achieve organizational objectives. In the case of software projects, some characteristics are highlighted, such as, constant changes in levels of scope or product, software complexity and aspects related to human resources, such as technical knowledge and experience, among others. We may consider these characteristics as risk factors that should be managed. In this aspect, a tactical management requires the usage of better-structured information, which leads us to think about the usage of a metrics-based strategy as a support tool for multiple project managers with emphasis on risk factors. In this context, a metric called “Risk Point”. This work presents and discusses the metric “Risk Point”, identifying some points of adjustments. Also, this paper shows an application of the metrics in an environment of multiple projects of software development with the goal of analyzing its applicability and utility as support tool for decision-making and risk monitoring during project life cycle.
