Identifying Risks in Technology Projects
The Method and Best Practices
Present-day operations feature systematic risk management as a standard requirement in technology development projects. Modern technology projects present elevated risk due to their increased complexity, rapid implementation of advanced solutions, and a broad range of interests. Evaluating project risks during the initial life cycle enables substantial impact reduction while fortifying decisions that produce better project outcomes. This paper presents the most effective strategies and techniques for identifying risks during technology project development to assist you as a project manager, stakeholder, or organization in achieving successful technological outcomes.

Defining Risk
Risk is the chance of a negative event because of taking specific actions or making established decisions. In the context of technology projects, risks can arise from various sources, including:
- Technical Risks: Technology selection disposition system execution standards application integration challenges and software malfunction constitute the main risks in this area.
- Operational Risks: These risks stem from processes, people, and organizational processes that affect the project.
Financial Risks: Various financial risks threaten technology projects when budgets exceed expectations, funding runs low, and project expenses fluctuate unpredictably.
External Risks: External risks arise from unpredictable changes at regulatory levels, in market demand, and in established competitive dynamics.
