Risk

The Risk template is used for Risk Management purposes and can be linked to all objects in the repository. The Risk template supports the evaluation and continuous handling of the risk.

The Risk can be scored manually on its main tab: “Risk”, where it can also be given a Short Description, Type and Cause:

If you want to score the risk according to more specific categories, you can do so in under the Scoring tab:

You link a risk to the activity it concerns under the “Concerns” tab. Once it has been inserted here, the risk will appear as a “backwards relation” to the Activity. You can also create the risk from the activity and create the backwards relation automatically by using the inherent risk tab on the Activity and click on “Create risk”:

From the Risk-Control tab of Activities, you can also link to the risk. This link indicates that the Activity acts as a mitigating control for the risk. As such, there are two ways a risk can be linked to an activity: either as the activity where the risk is prevalent, or as the control activity that mitigates the likelihood or impact of the risk occurrence:

Evaluation

The Evaluation template is used for evaluating the effectiveness of a Control Activity.

In it, you can document findings in the form of Non-Conformances, Control Deficiencies and Change Requests. You can link to involved parties in the form of Organization Units, Persons and Business Connections, and link to the Responsible in the form of a Person. The conclusion results in the control activity be found either effective or ineffective. Clarifying concluding comments can be added.

Function Point Estimate

A FunctionPointEstimate uses a combination parameters and complexity factors to compute an estimated number of function points for the system.

Since the estimation follows the algorithme described in general available litterature it will not be described in details here.

In addition to the fields of the main tab the window contains tabs for ‘External Input’, ‘External Output’, ‘Inquiries’, External Data’ and ‘Internal Data’ are used.

The user is supposed to enter values for the number of ‘Simple’, ‘Average’ and ‘Complex’ parameters. In the buttom row of the dialogs the company standards can be entered.

The subdialog ‘Complexityfactors’ gives a list of factors – each with a scale of importance ranging from 1 to 6.

When all parameters are set up, the compute button can be pressed.

The properties of a FunctionPointEstimate are:

– Number Of Implemented Function Points Per Personday (AvgProductivity).
