SPaMCAST 79 - Stribrny, Risk, Manifestos Part 2 - a podcast by Thomas M. Cagley Jr

Welcome to the Software Process and Measurement Cast 79!

In the Software Process and Measurement Cast 79 I interviewed Scott Stribrny.  We discussed his recent Cutter Consortium Executive Update titled “We’re Gonna Be in the Hudson: Risk Management Expertise to Live by in an Economic Downturn."  The conversation and the article focused on risk and risk management.  Risk gets talked about in project management circles and can stay a bit theorectical  Scott makes the topic tangible in our interview.
