“…Overall maximum of the respondents accepted the role of risk management in project success. These results were also in line to the claims of various scholars such as Alhawari et al, (2012), Chua (2009), Koopman (2010) and others that risk management is one of the main contributors to project success. However, the sample mean recorded was 3.65 which was very close to 4, indicating the agreement of the respondents to the application of aspects of risk management in current IT projects.…”

The objective of this study is to explore the identification, understanding and application of risk management in information technology (IT) projects in, Peshawar, Pakistan. IT sector holds prominent place economically throughout the globe. However, high failure rate is associated with IT projects, and factors pertaining to risk management is one of the main causes of this failure. Risk management processes and procedures are considered a newly emerging field in Pakistan, so there is need to explore and tackle the status of risk management in IT sector. The adopted methodology of research is quantitative in nature, in the form of survey as research strategy. Primary data is collected by means of questionnaire as a data collection tool. The target population is 40 IT companies of Peshawar registered with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa IT Board and the entire population of IT firms are taken as a sample size. The research results highlight the importance of knowledge base in risk management as well as its role in risk mitigation; however, the availability of databases and tools and techniques for managing knowledge of risk management are found not up to the significant mark. There is a need to develop databases and tools for managing information about risk. A similar study with longitudinal design should be conducted on a considerably bigger sample size through various sectors including IT, Health, mining, and others which allow a more detailed analysis to tackle the whole scenario of the risk management status.

“…The specialized embedded programmers necessary for the traditional WSNbased installation are highly skilled persons [78]. Their unit cost is probably higher than that of personnel with average expertise in distributed software, whom makeSense empowers with a level of abstraction and tools sufficient to effectively develop WSN-integrated business processes.…”

Abstract-A wide gap exists between the state of the art in developing Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) software and current practices concerning the design, execution, and maintenance of business processes. WSN software is most often developed based on low-level OS abstractions, whereas business process development leverages high-level languages and tools. This state of affairs places WSNs at the fringe of industry. The makeSense system addresses this problem by simplifying the integration of WSNs into business processes. Developers use BPMN models extended with WSN-specific constructs to specify the application behavior across both traditional business process execution environments and the WSN itself, which is to be equipped with application-specific software. We compile these models into a high-level intermediate language-also directly usable by WSN developers-and then into OS-specific deployment-ready binaries. Key to this process is the notion of meta-abstraction, which we define to capture fundamental patterns of interaction with and within the WSN. The concrete realization of meta-abstractions is application-specific; developers tailor the system configuration by selecting concrete abstractions out of the existing codebase or by providing their own. Our evaluation of makeSense shows that i) users perceive our approach as a significant advance over the state of the art, providing evidence of the increased developer productivity when using makeSense; ii) in large-scale simulations, our prototype exhibits an acceptable system overhead and good scaling properties, demonstrating the general applicability of makeSense; and, iii) our prototype-including the complete tool-chain and underlying system support-sustains a real-world deployment where estimates by domain specialists indicate the potential for drastic reductions in the total cost of ownership compared to wired and conventional WSN-based solutions.

“…In view of the above, baseline risks should therefore be identified during the project planning process, while other risks should continue to be identified during the lifecycle of the project. Furthermore, the rates of IT project success, according to Koopman (2010), have been shown to improve through comprehensive project risk identification. As such, it is the cornerstone of projects' success if it is done throughout the project lifecycle.…”

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to study the recognition, application and understanding (status) of risk management in information technology (IT) projects in the South African public sector and thus contribute to the research gap. Design/methodology/approach – A quantitative approach in the form of a survey design was adopted, with data being collected through a questionnaire. The results from the study are compared to the theory and practice of risk management before drawing conclusions on the status of risk management in IT projects. Findings – The findings provide significant statistical support for the conclusion that risk management is being applied in current IT projects and that it is understood by the respective project clients. Research limitations/implications – Though risk management has been studied by several authors, very little is known about its status in the South African public sector. This study sheds light on its application in IT projects and its understanding by IT project clients. Practical implications – The study findings encourage project executives to develop knowledge bases for risk management in IT projects, as well as the corresponding tools. This will ultimately assist in knowledge sharing, which increases chances of IT project success. Importantly, the study also highlights that the relationship between project clients and project teams can be accelerated through knowledge sharing and continuous project communication. Originality/value – The research addresses one of the questions held by many scholars on the status of risk management in IT projects. It advances the recognition of risk management as a knowledge base and the practical implications thereof.
