Effects of Project Risk Management on Project Success
Does risk management contribute to project success; more specifically to success in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) implementation projects? This book seeks to find a scientific answer to that question; a question that finds its origin in the IT project management environment in which the author has worked for over 15 years.
The answer to this question is provided by conducting a combination of literature investigation, case studies and experiment. This combination of research strategies ensures a comprehensive overview of the research problem and the answers to it. Research findings indicate that individual risk management activities, for instance risk identification, risk allocation or risk reporting, have positive effect on projects success. However, contrary to general risk management theory, it is unnecessary to execute the complete risk management process in order to create the positive effect.
The author has works for over 15 years as project manager, project management consultant and project risk manager, predominantly in IT industry. A selection of his scientific work has been published in International Journal of Project Management and Project Management Journal. He has presented his work at both scientific and practitioners conference, including London, Madrid, Amsterdam, Berlin and most recently in Hong Kong.
