Every IT project has to deal with risk. The Standish Group states that in 2004, fifty-three percent of IT projects were late, over budget, or delivered with inadequate functionality. Eighteen percent of projects failed outright, with failure-to-deliver rates even higher for the larger projects.

David will present an overview, requirements, and logical architecture for a solution concept called IT Risk Advisor implemented as a set of remote services through a Service Oriented Architecture. Rather than matching compatible personality profiles, IT Risk Advisor matches a compatible IT project context with a compatible (best fit) IT Risk Profile.

The session will cover:

• Overview of IT Risk Advisor
• Benefits
• Requirements overview including both end user and system actor usage scenarios
• Capturing the IT Risk Profile
• Web services exposed
• Logical Architecture, using the SunTone Architecture Methodology analysis framework
• Predictive risk data model (58 predictive dimensions)
• Review example usages
• Review of output generated (fits, misfits, patterns, risk subscores, risk index)

David will solicit feedback from the audience for input into creating an open source project for IT Risk Advisor.
