Purpose: The aim of this article is to present the results of research aimed at identifying the most frequent risk factors of IT projects managed using the agile approach to project management. Design/methodology/approach: The research was conducted by means of in-depth structured interviews, on a sample of 111 project managers, leaders and project team members. The research included identification of risk factors and their assessment during project planning, as well as the most frequent risk factors in an agile-managed project. Findings: While carrying out a critical analysis of the literature, it can be observed that in the majority of publications concerning risk in projects managed in the agile way, the human factor is strongly underestimated, often excessively favouring procedures. However, when analysing the risk factors arising in IT projects managed in the agile way, except for the technology, equipment, system, or even the project schedule and cost, the project team is strongly accentuated. Research limitations/implications: The article presented recommendations to conduct supplementary research concerning the assessment of risk factors directly resulting from the specific nature of IT projects and the application of agile methodology to project management in terms of project team work organisation as well as potential project stakeholder groups. Originality/value: Software companies are one of the typical industries in which project management and the concept of teamwork are applied and the functioning of these teams is the dominant form of work organisation.
Planowanie projektu to nie tylko określenie czynności, które należy wykonać i ich ustrukturyzowanie, ale również identyfikacja czynników ryzyka, mogących mieć wpływ na przebieg projektu. W artykule omówiono procesy zarządzania ryzykiem w ramach metodyk tradycyjnych (klasycznych) oraz zwinnych (agile) w zarządzaniu projektami, zarówno w podejściu lekkim, jak i twardym. Ponadto przedstawiono rekomendacje dalszych badań, dotyczących opracowania odpowiednich procesów zarządzania ryzykiem dla projektów zarządzanych zwinnie.
