Current early risk assessment techniques rely on subjective human judgments and unrealistic assumptions such as fixed requirements and work breakdown structures. This is a weak approach because different people could arrive at different conclusions from the same scenario even for projects with a stable and well-defined scope, and such projects are rare. This paper introduces a formal model to assess the risk and the duration of software projects automatically, based on objective indicators that can be measured early in the process. The model has been designed to account for significant characteristics of evolutionary software processes, such as requirement complexity, requirement volatility and organizational efficiency.
