Here are answers to your questions:
1. Agile methods: Scrumbut, a tailored version of Scrum.
2. Risk management was prepared outside of Agile, using Yellow, Red, Green levels to assess risk and risk mitigation.
3. Development risks are primarily feature delay and software quality. The monetary risk numbers would be meaningless, but if feature development took too long, there was monetary impact.
4.Projects: 4 projects, 1 team (8 people). Projects is a strange measure This was really one project - one software system -- but with several major features to be created, so I named it 4 projects.

Hope this helps,
Tom
