Risk Management as a Factor of Success for IT-Projects in the National Program “Digital Economy”
The article is devoted to problems of risk management in IT-projects. The IT-sector doesn’t have methods of risk assessment that take into account the specifics IT-projects. In the article critical analysis of methods which are described in PMBOK® Guide, M_o_R®, ERM COSO, PRINCE2® and ГОСТ 31010:2012 was held. As a result an algorithm for managing risks in IT-projects was created. This algorithm have been tested in real 11 IT-projects. Experimental test showed that the algorithm is cost-effective, and shows high quality detection of risk events, reduces deviation from the planned results, increases chances of successful IT-projects completion, implemented both on the waterfall principle and agile principle. The theoretical and practical significance of the study and the results obtained lies in the possibility of using the created algorithm in significant IT-projects implemented within the framework of the national project of the Russian Federation “Digital economy”.
