Exploring the Effectiveness of the Pmbok Risk Management Process On it Projects Impacted by Crisis Events Like the Covid 19 Pandemic
Abstract
The recent covid -19 events have brought about significant changes to the structure of the working environment. The sudden transition from in-person to teleworking created new and unfamiliar project risks that organizations needed to address daily. Risks associated with schedules, communication, culture (Bao, Li, Xia, Zhu, Li, &Yang, 2021), the well-being of employees (Ralph et al., 2020), cost, and procurement, among others, arose due to the transition. This research aimed to explore whether the PMBOK risk management process is sufficient to address the issues and problems that arise when a project is affected by disruptive events like crises such as the covid-19. This research was conducted using a qualitative approach. A structured literature review was employed, and the results of the structured literature review showed no specific information addressing the need for a change in the PMBOK risk management process. Still, the findings from the structured literature review showed three themes that provided insights as to how projects and organizations could guard against the impacts of future crisis events.
