This implies that more needs to done to identify risks that might derail the project and proactively plan responses to mitigate those risks. The fact that “ “Changed Conditions” seem to be a strong driver to change as shown by this research is understandable as in today’s complex IT projects and for a successful implementation many prerequisites and conditions need to be met and when they are not, change to projects become inevitable.
