RM3: A Risk Management Framework For IT Project Success
Pages 200 - 205
Abstract
Risk Management (RM) is critical for projects’ success as it can predict undesirable events that may occur. Nevertheless, RM is lacking in industry, especially for projects in the IT sector. For this purpose, our study introduces RM3, a new framework for analyzing and measuring risks to compensate for known and unknown factors affecting the path to the projects’ success. RM3 comprises three primary processes: project complexity analysis, risk analysis, and risk monitoring and control. Based on a robust action-research study, we demonstrate RM3’s feasibility and effectiveness through an actual project within an IT company.
