Abstract
The described method is a risk identification scenario for software development projects, where the project team is multi-lingual and distributed, time for the risk identification meeting is limited, meetings are recurrent and an amount of risks required is bigger than a hundred. The meeting is conducted as an online chat game, where participants compete for each risk source, inventing the most severe risk. The winner gets a bonus, while the meeting facilitator gets a big list of raw risks.
