© 2020 IEEE.Software projects that are growing and getting more complex require more effective risk management for project success. Continuous improvement of risk management process can be achieved by utilizing emerging technologies, standards and experiences. In the scope of this study, risk management process improvement activities are implemented and maintained for a year within a sampled set of software development projects carried out by the TÜBITAK-BILGEM Cyber Security Institute. Our achievements, at the end of those activities, include the integration of risk management process with software development life cycle tools, a constantly visible risk treatment plan, while ensuring a proactive risk management approach. In addition, we setup an infrastructure to increase the involvement of stakeholders into the risk management process. The risk management process, which was improved as a result of this study, was implemented in other cyber security projects within TÜBITAK-BIILGEM Cyber Security Institute. In this study, we share our experiences during the adaptation of the process, preparation of management plan and establishment of infrastructure.

A Prototype Risk Management Decision Support Tool for Construction Projects
Arıkan, Ae; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (null; 2009-09-30)
Although risk management (RM) is accepted as one of the critical success factors for construction projects, project participants generally do not have sufficient knowledge pertinent to RM concept and the number of support tools which facilitate the process is rather low. Decision support tools are necessary for the systematic identification of risks, scenario generation, and proactive management of risk and integration of RM activities with other project management functions. The aim of this study is to int...
An analytic hierarchy process based model for risk and opportunity assessment of international construction projects
Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (Canadian Science Publishing, 2006-01-01)
Risk assessment of international projects is a complicated task because of the sensitivity of project success related to country specific risks as well as project risks. Decision makers face the difficulty of weighing project opportunities against risks and determining attractiveness of projects while giving bidding decisions. The aim of this paper is to propose a methodology for risk and opportunity assessment of international projects. The proposed model uses an analytic hierarchy process for calculation ...
A Method to decrease common problems in effort data collection in the software industry
Özkaya Eren, Ayşegül; Demirörs, Onur; Department of Information Systems (2012)
Efficient project planning and project management is crucial to complete the software projects in expected time and requirements. The most critical stage in project planning is estimation of the software size, time and budget. In this stage, effort data is used for benchmarking data sets, effort estimation, project monitoring and controlling. However, there are some problems related to effort data collection in the software industry. In this thesis, a pilot study and survey study are conducted to observe co...
A robust time-cost-quality-energy-environment trade-off with resource-constrained in project management: A case study for a bridge construction project
Lotfi, Reza; Yadegari, Zahra; Hosseini, Seyed Hossein; Khameneh, Amir Hossein; Tirkolaee, Erfan Babaee; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm (2022-01-01)
Sustainable development requires scheduling and implementation of projects by considering cost, environment, energy, and quality factors. Using a robust approach, this study investigates the time-cost-quality-energy-environment problem in executing projects and practically indicates its implementation capability in the form of a case study of a bridge construction project in Tehran, Iran. This study aims to take into account the sustainability pillars in scheduling projects and uncertainties in modeling the...
Ontology for Relating Risk and Vulnerability to Cost Overrun in International Projects
Fidan, Gulsah; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Tanyer, Ali Murat; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2011-07-01)
Risk management is about identifying risks, assessing their impacts, and developing mitigation strategies to ensure project success. The difference between the expected and actual project outcomes is usually attributed to risk events and how they are managed throughout the project. Although there are several reference frameworks that explain how risks can be managed in construction projects, a major bottleneck is the lack of a common vocabulary for risk-related concepts. Poor definition of risk and patterns...
