Article 1: Coombs, C. R. (2015). When planned IS/IT project benefits are not realized: a study of
inhibitors and facilitators to benefits realization.
International Journal of Project Management,

363-379.
The article illustrates planned IS/IT benefits by focussing on the study that deals on the
facilitators, inhibitors for benefit realization. According to Coombs (2015), IS/IT evaluations generally
helps in revealing that some of the organizations generally fails to realize various types of planned
benefits from the IS/IT projects. It is argued by the researchers who deals with benefit management
that change within the organization is quite necessary for successfully delivering the IS/IT related
project benefits. However, the present IS/IT evaluation related methodologies generally adopts
proper quantitative focus on the benefits and cost for considering various types of organizational
related dimensions.

The paper mainly focusses on the new methods that mainly deals with knowledge
production for managing research projects. The literature report generally frictions between
research and management. In this article, number of academic research projects are investigated by
using the principles of project management (Riol & Thuillier, 2015). Proper analysis on managerial
facts indicates that the research related projects quite compatible by considering number of
similarities as well as cultural acceptance in context to project management value.
Article: Cagliano, A. C., Grimaldi, S., & Rafele, C. (2015). Choosing project risk management

The article illustrates the theoretical framework that deals with the techniques of project
risk management. Cagliano et al., (2015) stated that the pressure that is created by increasing the
quality of the project by minimizing time and cost generally creates emphasis on managing various
risks of the project. It is found that number of models as well as techniques are generally developed
in literature helps in successfully clarifying what needs to be utilized. The knowledge that is related
with risk management is quite helpful in dealing the project complexities quite effectively. However,
both communication as well as knowledge related creation are not considered easy while dealing
with number of uncertainties as decision making is both fragmented in the perspectives of
opportunities, goals as well as threat that is related with the project.
