Project Risks
I found this document on project risks which contains exactly what I myself experienced being important risks of development projects. I am listing the items here. For explanation refer to the link:
- User involvement for defining requirements
- Executive support
- Requirements inflation (scope creep/gold plating)
- Schedule flaws
- Unrealistic expectations
- Staff turnover
- Project management
- Specification breakdown – (Related to 1 as well)
- Technology and uncertainty
- Not knowing what is at stake
