Abstract

This is the second of a two-case series. The case describes a large and complex IT (information technology) integration project, after the acquisition of one metals mining company by another. As part of the integration, 40,000 PCs, applications, and the network had to be consolidated into one system. The project lasted two years and involved 1,000 people across the organisation. Case (A) illustrates competent project risk management, including risk identification, assessment, and management. Case (B) illustrates the management of 'residual risks', which remain in spite of thorough planning at the outset. With this case, the methods of project risk management, including their implementation and limitations, can be discussed.
