After a second survey with people relevant to corporate IT projects, I fatherly summarized 57 major risk factors. After that, I conducted a survey with customer reprehensive or senior executives of companies which have implemented IT projects costing over 10,000 Yuan within 2 years. The people being surveyed needed to evaluate the implementation status of their projects in terms of all 57 risk factors.Finally I sum it up with 10 biggest risk factors of IT projects in China companies through analyzing the survey data. Meanwhile, I also tried to research on internal structure adjustments of those risk factors and quantitatively calculate the return-relationship between risk factors and projects'results.
