Studies show one of the reasons for the failure of the software projects is the absence of Risk Management or its improper application. The adoption of Scrum Framework on software projects is increasing. However, the Scrum does not have specific Risk Management activities. In this scenario, this paper presents the results of a survey applied using qualitative approach, in order to analyze how R...

BACKGROUND Black subjects with a family history of premature coronary heart disease (CHD) have a marked excess risk, yet barriers prevent effective risk reduction. We tested a community-based multiple risk factor intervention (community-based care [CBC]) and compared it with "enhanced" primary care (EPC) to reduce CHD risk in high-risk black families. METHODS AND RESULTS Black 30- to 59-year-...
