Toward Successful ISD in Developing Countries: First Results from a Nigerian Risk Study Using the Delphi Method
نویسندگان
چکیده
The literature of software risk management indicates that the risk of failure in information system development (ISD) can be mitigated by identifying and analysing the threats of success. Moreover, the goals when implementing new technology in Africa, concerning socio-economic development, are more manifold. We have developed a holistic approach for studying successful ISD in Africa, which includes risk research in software projects as well as information system implementation and use contexts. In this paper we present the process of a Delphi-study in Nigeria, which aims to produce a rank-order list of most common risk factors in software projects. The first results of risk factors in software projects in Nigeria are introduced.
