Risk Analysis Based on Factors of Failure in Small and Medium-sized Company Projects

Under the limited number of staff in small and medium-sized companies with little opportunity to learn project management, it is difficult for the staff to carry out projects in a systematic manner. New methods and tools for support are needed to prevent project failure in situations where project management knowledge and experience are scarce. Therefore, we have so far collected information on cases of failed projects for small and medium-sized company, and analyzed and categorized factors of failure. In this research, the factors of failure revealed from our previous research were regarded as risk factors, and risk analysis for failure avoidance was performed based on the risk assessment widely used in risk management.
