3. Methodology
In order to conduct the meta-analysis of the empirical evidence of the contribution of risk management to IT project success, a search and selection was done aimed at peer-reviewed journal publications from 1997 to 2009. The process was supported by the use of electronic tools for the search for and selection of the publications. Our selection includes journals published by Blackwell, Elsevier, merald, IEEE, Sage, and Springer. Key elements in the search and selection process were: ‘‘software project” and ‘‘Information Technology project”, ‘‘risk management”, and ‘‘project success”. A search was done on the appearance of any combination of these terms, with a result of 790 hits. All hits of two pages or less were left out of the selection; this excludes book reviews and editorials. Then, a second selection was made by evaluating the abstracts of the publications selected in the first round. This second step was necessary to make sure that the publications included all three topics: software/IT project, project success, and project risk management (see Fig. 4). The fact that we only selected journal publications may have caused some potentially interesting material to be excluded from the final selection. However, a limited review of this material did not present additional insights.
