At all stages of the software development process there are risks and these can present an opportunity or threat to the project. The early practice of risk management in software projects makes it possible to know and control the factors that impact the project, thus contributing to its quality and success. This article aims to propose a conceptual model composed of the main risk factors in software development projects that allows project managers to evaluate and monitor risks. In order to achieve results that meet the objectives of this work, activities were carried out in an interactive manner according to a previously developed mental map. Considering risk as a non-functional requirement, risk management models were proposed through the NFR (non-functional requirements) Framework and i* Framework. By way of example, it can be concluded that projects that deal in the right time with risk operations or part of them may have a greater chance of success.
