Risk
Rating of Software Organizations and Software Projects
A GRafP rating offers an
independent opinion on the risk profile of the project or organization.
The rating provides an easily identifiable symbol, which indicates
the organization's ability to mitigate IT risks.
An IT risk rating provides an organization or its lenders, partners,
suppliers and investors with an indication of the strength of
the organization's ability to mitigate software risks jeopardizing
its ability to deliver IT projects on time, within budget and
with the required functionality.
As published by GRafP Technologies, a rating is an assessment
of the probability that an IT initiative will be successful.
The accompanying rating outlook also reflects the potential
for change in the rating's present standing, as far as the elements
of that potential can be estimated. In fact, the rating evaluates
the present, reviews the past and considers the future.
