Agile software development methodologies by the inbuilt features utilized, control risks. However, this does not work for all cases of software development projects and supplementary means may need to be applied. This can be addressed by introducing an intentional and formal way of managing risks in the agile environment. Explicit risk management promises numerous benefits if properly implemented. This study intends to review and deduce based on the risks identified, the relevance and benefits of formally managing risks in agile software development projects. To achieve the aim of this study, the researcher reviewed risk management procedures in a typical agile setting as well as research that exposed the insufficiency of the inherent risk management process in agile projects and the identified risks.

This became necessary since the importance of managing risks explicitly in the agile software development methods is increasingly being stressed as seen in the literature reviewed. However, the knowledge of the constituents of explicit risk management is not streamlined yet and consequently its cost is not known. To achieve the aim of this paper, the constituents of an explicit risk management process were first derived. This was followed with development of Use Case model to enable the researcher identify the various requirements that would be involved in developing the model. The development of the extended model was then made with the aid of the use case model. The model, though theoretical, will give insight to stakeholders, developers and business analysts on the budget requirements of ex...

It has been observed that the tempo of fraud in social media these days is over alarming most especially in Nigeria. As a result of this, there is need to fortify the social network services in order to secure e-mail communication and reinforce data security. This paper advocates for an advanced and secured approach for improving communication in a social Network with the use of geo-location technique. The system was designed using an Object-Oriented software development methodology and implemented using the server-based scripting language - PHP, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and back-end with MySQL. The proposed system will help the government and security agencies fight recent security challenges in the country.

This is necessitated by the fact that despite the increase in the need for managing risks explicitly in medium-to-large scale agile software development projects presently, there are no known ways to estimate explicit risk management costs/benefits. With the proposed model, explicit risk management procedures alongside with risk management estimation techniques is made known to Stakeholders who will be able to make the right decisions on risk management costs and its impacts as well as when to utilise implicit or explicit risk management. The proposed system proves to be feasible and dependable and is evidently capable of enhancing the agile methods for use for all sizes of software projects while still maintaining the swiftness of the agile process.
