A Tool for Risk Mitigation in Public Sector IS/IT Projects: An Evidence-Based Information Systems Project Risk Checklist
The design, development and implementation of Information Systems (IS) in the Public Sector are perceived to have been plagued by failure and ongoing problems. This is reflected in the number of such case-studies being currently used in teaching and training situations. This visibility is due the duty of accountability that forces the sector to disclose any emerging failure.Consequently, the sector is more vulnerable to criticism and public inspection, but it is also an ideal research field in risk management practices. This paper presents a study of Information Systems Project Risk Management aimed at identifying a risk ontology and checklist that will enable decision making and mitigation strategy planning in IS development. The study is based on a qualitative approach anchored on a critical literature review followed by a thorough case-study survey. The final ontology was divided into five main categories: Pre-Project, Customer, Project Management, Technological Issues, and Development Methodology.This ontology is designed to fit in real life systems development cycles and is aimed at supporting risk assessment and control.
