Risk assessment factors for SME software development companies in Malaysia

There are large, medium, and small enterprises which develop software projects that can be influenced by a risk. Identifying risk is first step of perfectly assessing and controlling risks in a project. In the literature, a lot of researchers identified risk factors in software projects but none of...
