The communicative effect of Risk identification on project success
International Journal of Project Organisation and Management, 2014Co-Authors: Karel De Bakker, Albert Boonstra, Hans WortmannAbstract:Risk Management is an instrument used by project managers to execute and control their projects to assure that outcomes are aligned with project plans. Existing evidence for the contribution of this instrument to project success is not convincing, because this evidence is often based on assumptions that prove inaccurate for most projects. These assumptions were addressed in an experiment involving 53 project groups. The results from this experiment demonstrate that the use of Risk identification, a single Risk Management Activity, positively influences objective and perceived project success. Communication between project members during Risk identification plays a crucial role in this relation.

Risk Managements' communicative effects influencing IT project success
International Journal of Project Management, 2012Co-Authors: Karel De Bakker, Albert Boonstra, Hans WortmannAbstract:Abstract The central question of this research is if, and how, Risk Management contributes to the success of IS/IT projects. Risk Management is used regularly in IT projects, despite indications in literature that Risk Management only occasionally contributes to IT project success. Drawing on Habermas we distinguish between instrumental and communicative effects of Risk Management. Stakeholders from seven ERP implementation projects indicate that in addition to the instrumental effects of Risk Management, being direct Risk mitigating actions by stakeholders, individual Risk Management activities are able to generate communicative effects. Communicative effects create a commonly shared definition of the situation by influencing stakeholders' perceptions and expectations and by defining the inter-stakeholder project relations. These effects contribute to the effectiveness of instrumental action, and consequently to project success. Stakeholders consider Risk identification to be the most influential Risk Management Activity, both in number and in strength of the effects.

Goals at Risk? Machine learning at support of early assessment
2015 IEEE 23rd International Requirements Engineering Conference (RE), 2015Co-Authors: Paolo Avesani, Anna Perini, Alberto Siena, Angelo SusiAbstract:A relevant Activity in the requirements engineering process consists in the identification, assessment and Management of potential Risks, which can prevent the system-to-be from meeting stakeholder needs. However, Risk analysis techniques are often time- and resource- consuming activities, which may introduce in the requirements engineering process a significant overhead. To overcome this problem, we aim at supporting Risk Management Activity in a semi-automated way, merging the capability to exploit existing Risk-related information potentially present in a given organisation, with an automated ranking of the goals with respect to the level of Risk the decision-maker estimates for them. In particular, this paper proposes an approach to address the general problem of Risk decision-making, which combines knowledge about Risks assessment techniques and Machine Learning to enable an active intervention of human evaluators in the decision process, learning from their feedback and integrating it with the organisational knowledge. The long term objective is that of improving the capacity of an organisation to be aware and to manage Risks, by introducing new techniques in the field of Risk Management that are able to interactively and continuously extract useful knowledge from the organisation domain and from the decision-maker expertise.

Security backlog in Scrum security practices
2011 Malaysian Conference in Software Engineering, 2011Co-Authors: Zulkarnain Azham, Imran Ghani, Norafida IthninAbstract:The rapid development of software nowadays requires the high speed software product delivery by development teams. In order to deliver the product faster, the development teams make a transformation to their conventional software development lifecycle to agile development method which can enable them towards speedy delivery of software coping with the requirements-change phenomenon. In this scenario, one of the most popular techniques in Agile development is the Scrum methodology which has been criticised in term of its security aspect cycle that ignores the security Risk Management Activity. However, the current practices suggest that security should be considered during all stages of the software development life cycle. In order to address the aforementioned issue, this paper proposes the integration of security principles in development phases using scrum and suggests the element of security backlog that can be used as security features analysis and implementation in scrum phases.

Risk Management Board for Effective Risk Management in Scrum
International Journal of Computer Applications, 2013Co-Authors: B. Reddaiah, Satya Prasad Ravi, Lakshmi Sridhar MovvaAbstract:Projects that are developed by using agile methods are projected to give good results and more successful in producing high quality software that satisfies the needs of customer effectively at a faster pace. Software developing organizations that have been employing Scrum are recommended as starting point for organizations with small teams and with no distinct processes. Actually while using scrum it is able to identifying Risks that occur in project development but it has no practices to identify the cause, factors to evaluate and handle the Risk Management effort. This study aims to introduce new roles and new team for Risk Management that are effective in Risk Management Activity. The new roles and new teams of Scrum are useful for organizations that are experiencing high failure rates with respect to Risk while using Scrum.
