Abstract: Abstract The most important function of software metrics is to support quantitative decision of software project management. In this paper, we focus on identification of the most critical risk factors in software project risk management framework based on metrics and Bayesian network. Sensitivity analysis can be performed to study how sensitive the risk node’s probability is according to small changes of probability parameters in the risk BN. For a risk BN of known structure and probability parameters, we first estimate the most probable risk scenario, and then perform sensitivity analysis for the risk node. After we find the critical risk factors, concentrate on these factors in risk monitoring and control process.
