Analogies between dynamic financial analysis and\r\nsoftware risk assessment models are established and based on these\r\nanalogies it suggested that dynamic risk model for software projects\r\nis the way to move forward for the risk assessment of software\r\nproject. It is shown how software risk assessment change during\r\ndifferent phases of a software project and hence requires a dynamic\r\nrisk assessment model to capture these variations. Further evolution\r\nof dynamic financial analysis models is discussed and mapped to the\r\nevolution of software risk assessment models.","references":"[1] Casualty Actuarial Society, Dynamic Risk Modeling Handbook,\r\nwww.casact.org\/research\/drm\r\n[2] Software Risk Management: Principles and Practices, Barry W.
