Background of the situation This project came about because NASA needed an independent cost, schedule and risk assessment of a proposed system. This proposed system was an update to an existing system, which was primarily a hardware system with a small amount of software. The proposed configuration used some of the existing hardware, but some of the hardware would be modified while other hardwa...

In general, underground spaces are associated with high risks because of their high uncertainty in geotechnical environments. Since most accidents and incidents in these structures are often associated with uncertainty, the development of risk analysis and management methods and prevention of accidents are essential. A deeper recognition of the factors affecting the implementation process can p...

Implementing information technology projects requires a calculated process to prevent failure. At the same time application of information technology in organizations faces various potential risks. Exploring information technology environment in organizations reveals the potential risks and provides a structure for comprehensive risk management. There are various methods available for risk mana...

abstract project management in construction industry, in many cases, is imperfect with respect to the integration of occupational health and safety (ohs) risks. this imperfection exhibits itself as complications affecting the riskiness of industrial procedures and is illustrated usually by poor awareness of ohs within project teams. difficulties on ohs regularly came about in the construction i...

uncertainties in industrial environments can cause considerable complexities, during the implementation and management of projects. so, performing a risk management model in such environments has become inevitable. in such circumstances, many risk management models have been introduced in literature, which majorities of them are general, while some of them are developed to be applied to specifi...

This paper outlines the design principles for software project risk management systems. The artifact accounts for the interrelationships among factors belonging to four risk dimensions: project traits, undesirable events, management practices, and project outcomes. We conducted a case survey of 60 software projects and observed patterns of interplay among risk components. Four patterns were fou...

Risks are natural and inherent characteristics of major projects. Risks are usually considered independently in analysis of risk responses. However, most risks are dependent on each other and dependent risks are rare in the real world. This paper proposes a model for proper risk response selection from the responses portfolio with the purpose of optimization of defined criteria for projects. Th...
