“…The most common reason for the failure of ICT projects in Malaysia was due to poor budget planning (Saleem et al, 2016). Inadequate knowledge of project management factors and project process factors also contributed to project failures.…”

Information and communication technology (ICT) is an important sector that contributes to the development of a country. However, the success of this sector depends on the success of the ICT projects. Hence, ICT projects must be managed efficiently and effectively to ensure that they are successfully implemented. The literature review reveals that most of the ICT projects around the globe are in a challenged state, especially in terms of cost. This quantitative research aims to explore the cost influencing factors of the ICT projects in Malaysia and to build a cost influencing factors framework as a knowledge base for project managers. A 5-point Likert scale survey was conducted using the purposive sampling and the snowball sampling method to solicit responses from a large population of ICT project managers. The responses of 194 ICT project managers in Malaysia were analyzed, and the top 15 cost influencing factors were identified at different phases of a project. This result was used to build a cost influencing factors framework as a knowledge base for ICT project management.

“…The search string was defined following [18], using the most used agile methods [5] and well known terms as synonyms for "agile methods". The search string was then tested and refined by the authors, using previously known primary studies as a reference, resulting in the following search string: "risk" AND ("agile" OR "scrum" OR "xp" OR "extreme programming" OR "lean" OR "kanban" OR "scrumban" OR "fdd" OR "feature driven development" OR "crystal" OR "iterative development") AND "software"…”

Agile software development methods have been around since at least 2001. They accommodate changing requirements with the flexibility to deal with cost and scope and have increasingly been used. However, explicit risk management is often ignored as agile methods deal with risk intrinsically and focus on rapid value delivery. In certain contexts, explicit risk management practices are needed to complement agile methods. Thus, this paper presents a systematic literature mapping aiming to discover how do software organizations integrate explicit risk management practices into agile methods. As a result we found 23 primary studies that, in majority, applied case studies in the industry, using agile methods such as Scrum, and adapting agile practices such as Daily Meeting and Iteration Planning Meeting to manage risks related to schedule and communication, for example. The selected primary studies raise evidence that the introduction of explicit risk management practices bring benefits to agile methods.

“…Organizations believe in ex ante (pre) and ex post (post) evaluation based on criteria of measurement. From the literature review, we have extracted different types of measurement techniques offering pre-and post-evaluation [22], [25]- [27]. ROI is most commonly used method for measuring return on investment considered post-evaluation methods for assessing hard benefits or financial returns, to know exactly the cost and benefit ratio.…”
