In this episode, Rob Moffat, author of
Risk-First Software Development and chief technical architect at
the FinTech Open Source Software Foundation (FINOS), speaks with
host Brijesh Ammanath about how all of software development is
actually risk management. Rob introduces the concept of
'risk-first software development,' which sits in the context of
existing methodologies like scrum and kanban. Showcasing multiple
real-world project patterns to illustrate how things can go wrong
when risk is ignored, he makes the case for why risk should be
the primary lens behind every development decision, from
architecture to prioritization. Through various examples, he
shows how every developer action can be viewed as a risk
trade-off and why making that explicit can lead to better
outcomes. The conversation takes a deep dive into the risk-first
framework and how teams can apply it in their existing processes.
