Method and system for quantitatively assessing project risk and effectiveness
First Claim
1. A method for assessing risk on a project associated with a change proposal directed toward the project, the project being developed by a service provider for a client, said method comprising:
- receiving the change proposal directed toward the project, the change proposal requesting at least one amendment to be performed to the project being developed by the service provider;
identifying, based on the at least one amendment request, at least one artifact of the project to be potentially affected upon the change proposal being adopted; and
generating at least one metric indicative of the potential effects on the project based on said identifying the at least one artifact, the at least one metric providing an objective risk assessment for the service provider to provide the client.

Abstract
A method and system for assessing risk of a change proposal on a project development, and effectiveness of a service provider to satisfy a client. The method for assessing risk may include receiving the change proposal requesting one or more amendments to be performed on the project. One or more elements of the project potentially affected upon the change proposal being approved may be identified based on the amendment(s) of the change proposal. Metric(s) indicative of the potential effects on the project based on the identified element(s) may be generated. The method for determining effectiveness may include receiving change proposals. A frequency of receipt of the change proposals being received during the course of the project may be monitored to determine effectiveness of the service provider in satisfying the client.

9. A system for assessing risk on a project associated with a change proposal directed toward the project, the project being developed by a service provider for a client, said system comprising:
-
means for receiving the change proposal directed toward the project, the change proposal requesting at least one amendment to be performed to the project being developed by the service provider;
means for identifying, based on the at least one amendment request, at least one artifact of the project to be potentially affected upon the change proposal being adopted; and

10. A computer-readable medium having stored thereon sequences of instructions, the sequences of instructions, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to:
-
receive the change proposal directed toward a project being developed by a service provider for a client, the change proposal requesting at least one amendment to be performed to the project;
identify, based on the at least one amendment request, at least one artifact of the project to be potentially affected upon the change proposal being adopted; and
generate at least one metric indicative of the potential effects on the project based on said identifying the at least one artifact, the at least one metric providing an objective risk assessment for the service provider to provide the client.

11. A method for determining effectiveness of a project development by a service provider for a client, said method comprising:
-
receiving a plurality of change proposals directed toward the project, the change proposals requesting amendments to at least one artifact of the project;
monitoring frequency of receipt of the plurality of change proposals being received during the course of the project; and
evaluating the frequency of receipt of the plurality of change proposals being received during the course of the project to quantitatively determine effectiveness of the service provider to satisfy the client. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

22. A method for determining satisfaction of client expectation of content of a development project being developed by a service provider, said method comprising:
-
receiving a plurality of change proposals directed toward the project, the change proposals requesting amendments to at least one artifact of the project being content oriented;
determining that the at least one artifact is content oriented; and
generating a metric as a function of the plurality of change proposals being directed to the at least one artifact being content oriented, the metric being indicative of the service provider satisfying expectations of the client. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26)
