Manage Requirements Volatility to Manage Risks in IS Development Projects. Requirements volatility (RV) refers to additions, deletions and modifications of requirements during the systems development life cycle. RV creates rework in design and code that increases the system development cost and time and compromises the system quality. Ignoring requests for requirement changes can cause system failure due to user rejection, and failure to manage RV can increase the development time and cost. A meta-analysis of several studies shows that system development projects have an average of 25 percent time overrun and 41 percent cost overrun.1 RV is the cause of failures in about 11 percent of system development projects.2, 3 Information systems (IS) professionals consider RV a critical risk.
The management of RV is essential to success in a systems development project.4 This article discusses the risk factors for RV, suggests methods to manage RV to reduce project risks, and relates RV and its management to various control objectives in COBIT.5 Risk Factors for RV.

Evaluating and Managing Risks Find out how to do a risk analysis, with James Manktelow and Amy Carlson. Whatever your role, it's likely that you'll need to make a decision that involves an element of risk at some point.
Risk is made up of two parts: the probability of something going wrong, and the negative consequences if it does. Risk can be hard to spot, however, let alone prepare for and manage. And, if you're hit by a consequence that you hadn't planned for, costs, time, and reputations could be on the line. This makes Risk Analysis an essential tool when your work involves risk. In this article, we'll look at how you can use Risk Analysis to identify and manage risk effectively. What is Risk Analysis? Risk Analysis is a process that helps you identify and manage potential problems that could undermine key business initiatives or projects. When to Use Risk Analysis Risk analysis is useful in many situations: ... for the complete article: Mind Tools Club members, click here.
