The paper then presents eight major risks which arise from the organization which wants to develop the system. These risks are 1) risks associated with high level management, 2) risks associated with requirement developers, 3) risks associated with the management of the implementing organization, 4) risks in the contract, 5) risks associated with system users, 6) risks associated with computer facilities, 7) risks associated with other relevant systems, and 8) risks as- sociated with the organization itself. Knowledge about these risk sources will help the implementing organization and the organization which is responsible for developing the information system to cooperate in order to reduce the risks and to ensure that the system development project will be successful.
