Abstract

Upravljanje projektnim rizicima pomaže organizacijama koje se bave razvojem softvera da isporuče kvalitetne proizvode na vrijeme i unutar određenog proračuna. S obzirom na promjenjivost i složenost projekata razvoja softvera, organizacije prilikom odabira pristupa upravljanju projektima često koriste agilan pristup jer je on optimiziran za takvo područje. Ključne karakteristike ovog pristupa uključuju dnevne sastanke, učestale iteracije i aktivno revidiranje svakog dijela projekta. To omogućava brzo identificiranje rizika i promjena te prilagodbu novim situacijama, a time se smanjuje negativan utjecaj rizika na projekte. Osnovni cilj ovog istraživanja je dobiti uvid u način na koji organizacije koje se bave agilnim razvojem softvera u Republici Hrvatskoj praktično pristupaju upravljanju rizicima na projektima. Shodno tome, provedeno je empirijsko istraživanje koje se temelji na dubinskim intervjuima s voditeljima projektnih timova na namjernom uzorku od četiri organizacije. Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su da ispitani voditelji ne primjenjuju stroge procedure upravljanja rizicima na svojim projektima, no svejedno se uspješno nose s rizicima. Većina ispitanika ovu uspješnost pripisuje prilagodljivosti agilnog pristupa. Ovaj pristup se ne oslanja na stroge procese, već na vrijednosti kao što su suradnja i fleksibilnost, a to omogućuje timovima da ostvaruju uspjehe na projektima.

Abstract (english)

Project risk management helps software development organizations deliver quality products on time and within budget. Given the variability and complexity of software development projects, when choosing an approach to project management, organizations often use an agile approach because it is optimized for such a field. Key features of this approach include daily meetings, frequent iterations, and active revision of each part of the project. This enables quick recognition of risks and changes and adaptation to new situations, thereby reducing the negative impact of risks on projects. The main goal of this research is to get an insight into how organizations dealing with agile software development in the Republic of Croatia practically approach risk management on projects. Accordingly, an empirical study was conducted based on in-depth interviews with project team leaders in a purposive sample of four organizations. The results of the research showed that the surveyed managers do not apply strict risk management procedures on their projects, but they still successfully deal with risks. Most respondents attribute this success to the adaptability of the agile approach. This approach does not rely on strict processes, but on values such as collaboration and flexibility, and this allows teams to achieve success on projects.
