Agreed, though IMO "Software Engineering" subsumes everything. You are looking for a holistic and reproducible process which can be communicated using well defined methodologies.
One important point though; IMO Risk Management in the Software Industry is qualitatively different than that from other Industries. This is because of the greater play and importance of Human Factors involved and their cumulative non-linear effects. In very few other industries (eg. Finance) can you have a factor of 10x/100x productivity between the average and the best since it does not follow the normal distribution. If i have a Jeff Dean/John Carmack programming or a Steve Jobs salesmanship in my company i can break every engineering rule i want and still come out on top.
Nassim Taleb's ideas on Mediocristan/Extremistan, Power Laws/Fat Tails are all relevant here. Here is a great video explaining these concepts (though we have to adapt and apply it to Software Engineering) : Pareto, Power Laws, and Fat Tails - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wcqt49dXtm8
