Managing risk: Bringing it all together

Many projects will invariably finish at the same time, some predefined milestone

• There are two approaches to handling this

  • Merge Mania
    • Everyone merges at the same time, the details are sorted out when the dust settles
  • Controlled Merges
    • Each project gets to own the mainline while they merge. They start with a working mainline, they have to finish with a working mainline

• Which you choose depends on your organization

  • Elapsed time for either is often the same
  • In many cases, a mixture of the two are used
