Risys – A Tool to Support Risk Management in a Collaborative Project Management Environment

Dealing with work groups is a challenge for organizations where projects are the main focus. During their activities if cooperation is not adequately coordinated and well supported it can provoke significant delays on the project or can put the final product quality at risk. The goal of this paper is to describe the risks control module, named Risys, to support the execution of project developed by the use of Web-based Groupware on Project Management System (WGPMS). This infrastructure is comprised of groupware applications which are based both on computational intelligence and Monte Carlo technique. Experiments which were already carried out reveal valuable results related to the implemented rules on Risys. However, additional case studies need to be carried out from the moment that new applications were integrated on WGPMS, as well as new rules that were added to the database system.
