Risk Assessment Dev
Noun · Development
Definitions
The practice of systematically identifying, analyzing, and prioritizing technical risks in a software project — such as architectural bottlenecks, dependency vulnerabilities, or integration failure points — and planning mitigations before they become production incidents.
In plain English: Figuring out what could go wrong in a software project and deciding what to fix first before problems actually happen.
Example: "The risk assessment flagged our single-region database as a critical SPOF, so we're prioritizing multi-region replication this quarter."
