Paper Abstract:
|
Projects involving the development of information infrastructure supporting e-business activities are complex, especially where the integration of systems of various types are involved. In particular, large projects involving the creation of Value-Added Communities (VACs) are classed as being not only complex, but highly innovative, thus increasing the level of inherent risk. Risk is a key factor where estimates of time and effort to complete a project are required. In the case of VACs such estimates are extremely important as to the viability of launching the VAC. In such cases risk is compounded by both technical and business factors alike. The discussion in this paper focuses on the analysis of a first set of results of an experiment aimed at establishing an extension to existing risk taxonomies specific to VAC development projects. It attempts to establish the validity of risks identified by canvassing expert opinion and attempts to relate those risks to project size and project complexity. |
