The development of software projects is typically quite complex and highly
prone to failure. Therefore, the importance of using project management
methods in software development is continually increasing. Small
to medium-sized enterprises are considered the backbone of the European
economy and growth, and consequently, the Slovenian economy. However,
their specific characteristics and limited resources encourage the use of different
tools and methods compared to large enterprises. Risk management in
projects, particularly in small and medium-sized enterprises, is poorly studied.
The aim of this master’s thesis is to fill the gap in the literature
on risk management in Slovenian companies involved in software development,
to identify which risks are most problematic in each of the four risk
dimensions (Technical, Organizational, Financial, and User), and to provide
recommendations on how to address them.
