Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Sustainability is not a new concept, and there exist various definitions of this notion. This notion is often combined with sustainability principles, also proposed in the literature in various forms. Sustainability in project management will be understood in this Special Issue as the integration of a set of sustainability principles into project management processes and procedures. The selected set of sustainability principles should have one important feature: a project can be described as being fully sustainable if and only if all the principles belonging to this set are respected.

The papers submitted to the Special Issue should choose a definition of sustainability and a set of sustainability principles and then provide original proposals for how to integrate these principles into project management processes, procedures, and methods. Specific proposals will be preferred over general ones: detailed solution proposals are expected, possibly limited to selected project types or project management approaches or frameworks. Each proposed solution should be proven to contribute to the fulfilment of the selected sustainability principles.

The purpose of the article is to determine the maturity level of risk management in IT projects. To achieve this goal, the most popular risk management maturity models were analyzed. This analysis allows the identification of methods and mechanisms for determining maturity levels, the identification of strengths and weaknesses for each model, and the study of findings obtained from their use. Based on the data obtained, the author’s risk management maturity model in IT projects was developed and tested, considering the strengths and weaknesses of the analyzed models. Based on the analysis results and empirical data, it was found that the application of the created model allows the determination of the current maturity level of risk management in IT projects, the identification of these projects’ management problems, and the development of recommendations for increasing the level of management. The results have shown that the transition to the Standardized maturity level eliminates 105 universal risks and significantly increases the chances of successfully achieving the designed goals. In addition, it was found that the evaluation of the risk elimination effectiveness and efficiency and the best risk management practices identification and standardization are the main processes that ensure the transition to higher maturity levels. The obtained results suggest that the created author’s risk management maturity model in IT projects can become a tool for identifying the best contractor (performer, supplier), which guarantees the development of the desired IT product.

The objective of this study is to propose an approach that would increase the efficiency and efficacy of project financial risk management. The starting point of this research is an original detailed list of project financial risk categories, as it was observed that financial risk is described in the literature far too generally. Following a survey of project managers, it is shown that all the identified project financial risk categories are significant and early warning signals may play an important role in their prevention or mitigation. Additionally, the main causes for project financial risks are identified and their importance assessed. Following a literature review on metrics-based and financial risk management in projects, as well as an analysis of the causes assessed in the survey, it is hypothesised that sustainability principles, combined with metrics-based management, may increase the efficiency and efficacy of project financial risk management. A corresponding method is proposed, which should be embedded into the traditional process of project financial risk management. This method consists of generating metrics with a warning and preventive potential for each combination of three elements (financial risk category, risk cause, sustainability principle). This approach introduces into project financial risk management elements going beyond the financial optics, which may considerably increase its potential. Full article
