Research continually shows that companies have a difficult time completing information technology (IT) projects on time or on budget.

In fact many IT projects are cancelled before completion or not implemented at all. However project failure needs to consider more that just if the project was completed on time and on budget.

A completed project that was delivered on time but provides no business benefit is money, time and resource all wasted Risk management is a vital project management activity; however many current risk management practices focus solely on project delivery risks and not on risks associated with the organization receiving value and expected benefits from the project.

In this webinar, John Parker (LinkedIn profile) will address risk from both a project management and business analyst perspective and describe how impact and gap analysis can be key tools to identify and mitigate risk.
