Abstract

Through an examination of the literature and a review of industrial case studies, a qualitative model is developed of the risks associated with implementing information technology (IT) projects. When this approach was applied to case studies drawn from academia and from companies in the manufacturing and service industries, potential high risk factors were identified and classified. Ongoing research seeks to develop an intelligent risk analyzer that incorporates this qualitative model and industry best practices to give IT project managers significant decision support in the area of risk management by enabling them to match system development strategies with project complexity © 1995 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
