Risk Assessment of Information Technology Projects Using Fuzzy Expert System

Information Technology (IT) projects are accompanied by various risks and high rate of failure in such projects. The purpose of this research is Risk assessment of IT projects by an intelligent system. Here, a Fuzzy Expert System has been designed with considering main effective variables on risk assessment as Inputs variables and level of project risk as output. Then, the system rules have been extracted from the IT experts and the system has been developed with the use of FIS tool of MATLAB software. Finally, the presented steps have been run in an Iranian Bank as empirical study.
