Few studies have focused on estimating the relative effects of risk factors on IT project performance This paper discusses three predictive modeling techniques, regression, neural networks and classification trees, that could be used for such an estimate. A comparison suggests that classification tree techniques may provide more effective estimates than other techniques. A data set (n=227) with...

The increase in complexity of software development has become critical to the organizations to comprehensively identify and manage the risks involved in the software development projects. In identifying and further developing the projects, project managers must be aware of the risks or inherent risks affecting the projects. This paper presents empirical findings on the risk factors that signifi...
