“…Pengukuran kebarangkalian dan impak yang telah dipersetujui oleh kesemua pakar adalah seperti di Jadual 6 berikut: Kebarangkalian dan impak yang diperolehi seterusnya dinilai untuk menentu keutamaan bagi setiap risiko dan strategi tindak balas risiko yang bersesuaian. Matriks kedudukan risiko menunjukkan keutamaan risiko berdasarkan kebarangkalian dan impak risiko yang diperolehi (Xiaosong, Shushi, Wenjun & Songjiang 2009). Rajah 1 menunjukkan 25 faktor risiko dalam Jadual 5 yang telah dinilai dan diplot di dalam matriks kedudukan risiko berdasarkan nilai kebarangkalian dan impak.…”

Maklumat (SM) terdedah kepada pelbagai risiko. Kebanyakan projek tidak mencapai matlamat yang disasar seperti yang dirancang kerana tidak menepati kos, jangka masa dan kualiti yang ditetapkan. Menurut kajian terdahulu, salah satu punca kegagalan projek pembangunan SM adalah kegagalan mengurus dan memahami risiko kerana ia tidak dapat dielak. Pengurusan risiko di peringkat awal projek SM adalah penting, khususnya dalam fasa perancangan yang merupakan fasa pertama di dalam Kitaran Hayat Pembangunan Sistem. Oleh itu, kajian ini mengenal pasti faktor risiko perancangan SM, tahap keutamaannya dan strategi tindak balas yang bersesuaian. Faktor risiko yang dikenalpasti dari kajian konseptual dianalisis secara kritikal dan disahkan oleh pakar yang berpengalaman di dalam pembangunan SM sektor awam. Hasil kajian dipapar dalam model cadangan faktor risiko perancangan SM sektor awam yang boleh dijadikan panduan oleh agensi kerajaan dalam mengurus risiko.

“…But it is desired to have a near complete set of general risk factors and their effects. So as the initial phase of this study, we accumulated risk factors and categories from related researches [6], [7], [9], [10], [11], [13], [14], [15]. By gathering risk factors, we came up with a superset of risks which has a greater coverage over risks of software projects and development phases.…”

“…Part II of the survey contains 10 questions about project's fate. Questions in this part are generally excerpted from references [6], [7], [10], [13], [14] and some are adjusted to prevent the possible confusion in answering. This section provides the failure data of projects which will be evaluated on future studies.…”

KEYWORDS Software Project Risk Assessment, Risk Matrix, Software Engineering INTRODUCTIONAs indicated by researches [1] [2][3], the worldwide software business sector is evaluated to have an estimation of US$330 billion in 2014. Further, the Chaos Report from the Standish Group reported that the success rate of worldwide (fundamentally U.S. and Europe) software projects in 2015 is only 29% [4].In all projects, risks should be identified, assessed by its probability of occurrence and impact, and a contingency plan should be developed for remediating the problem actually occur [5]. The procedure of risk identification can be troublesome and misleading in some cases. Moreover, knowing whether a risk is important or not is also is another issue which requires more research on cases.This research`s aim is to assess the initial rating of risks for small to medium size software projects. One can see that in recent years, there are not as much studies to determine general risk factors and their possible effects on small to medium size software projects. In order to identify general risks and deploy a survey and obtain rating from practitioners, previous researches in risk assessment and management field had to be reviewed. Some of these studies are briefly given below.Zardari [6] in his research about managing software risks, attempts to provide practitioners with necessary basic information regarding the management of risks in software. The research defines the term of proactive and reactive management, a list of top risks, probability and impact and their levels alongside other terms.Keshlaf [7] specifically focuses on web and distributed software development project risks in this study, and provides a summarized risk set from other works. The research studies risks and challenges in the field and also studies and analysis existing methods and frameworks of software One of the problems with previous studies is that each adopt a sets of risk factors which are sometimes completely disjoint or overlapping. Also most of the studies consider a limited set of risks, therefore we aim to put a wide coverage list of software related risks. We ask software practitioners for their experience over of these risks and study the result to generate a super set of risks and ratings for reference.In our study, by conducting a survey, we mean to distinguish and provide a wider coverage of initial rating to software general project risks and their relations especially for practitioner of small organizations. A top risk list, highly cross correlated risks are provided for use by software teams or practitioners with relatively little experience and previous historical data. The identified wider coverage of general risks and ratings may be used in further studies. Furthermore, we discuss the outcomes and compare our results to other results from a survey of previous works [8]. GENERAL SOFTWARE PROJECT RISK FACTOR COLLECTIONAlthough, in previous studies diverse risk factors, categories and analysis tools have been utilized, in this ...

“…Questionnaires relying on best practices in five categories of issues were prepared based on the discussion with the p roject managers and end users. Follow-up formal interviews were afterwards arranged with the same managers and end-users in order to confirm the results and clarify the ambiguit ies [11]. The questions were clearly focused on issues related to IT project management.…”

In recent past, IT industry has seen massive growth. However it is not much mature in developing countries, facing many challenges particularly in pro ject management. As a result performance of IT industry is not up to the mark and unable to provide professional support as compared to internationally recognized standards to public and private sector organizat ions. There are many challenges such as shortage of skilled and experienced human resources and high employee turnover. Tough and competitive market condition requires the product to be ext remely good in performance, timeline and accuracy. Effect ive project management and collaborative efforts of the Govern ment and IT professionals can make h ighly successful market for IT projects. Success rate of private sector organizat ions is high as co mpared to public sector organizations in developing countries like Pakistan. In this research we have exp lored the performance of IT pro ject management in public and private sector organizations of developing countries focusing Pakistan, to find out the reasons of project failure and success in both public and private sector organizations.
