Particular Topic Within 1 Risk Management In Sof

Assignment: Using various search engines (e.g. IEEExplore, ACM Digital Library, Google Scholar, Science Citation Index, etc…), identify a set of 3 or more related papers that meet the following criteria:

• At least one is from a refereed journal (if you are not sure, ask me)
• All papers must be by different authors (it is OK if there is some overlap in the author list, but it must not be identical)
• The papers address “a particular topic” within Software Project Management research. Please see a sample list of topics on page 2 of this document.
• You can justify to me why the papers are related

For each paper, you are to read through the paper and extract the following information:

• Reference information (Title, Author, Conference/Journal, Conference Location, Date, Pages, etc…)
• The main research question investigated
• Was this study motivated by the results of a previous study (by the authors or by other researchers)?
• The type of study performed (You may not understand the details yet, but you should be able to find a description of the type of study). [Note: Under Module 1, a document is provided to you on Canvas that can help you understand the different types of research methods.]
• The main findings of the study
• Any important threats to validity discussed by the authors
• Why you found this paper interesting

Requirement:

• The complete references of all the papers you identified in the proper IEEE format.
• The summary of each paper described above
• A synthesis of the papers: i.e., What you can tell me about the topic now that you have read all papers that you could not tell me before or from reading only one of the papers
• A description of the process you used to locate the papers (e.g. search engines used, keywords used, etc…)
• An evaluation of your process and of the search engines used (e.g. was your process good? why/why not? were the search engines good? why/why not, etc…)

Remember, you need to identify at least three (3) papers.
