Abstract
The paper recognises the increasing role of risk management in present software projects and aims at providing more support in this area. First we overview the objectives and processes of risk management with the particular stress on the need for effective and continuous communication. Then we develop a generic collaboration model that shows the roles and communication paths among the project members to support risk management activities as well as a data model showing the abstract data objects supporting the collaboration. Further, we propose a software architecture that supports the collaborative risk management in a project course. And finally we present a pilot implementation of a tool that facilitates collaborative risk management over the Internet and the first results of its use.
