This thesis deals with Risk Management within large projects. It is still a hot topic, because risk is an inherent part of any project and significantly affects its outcome. That is why it is paied more and more attention to Project Risk Management. This thesis is written in collaboration with a renowned multinational IT company delivering these large projects. One of the project factors is uniqueness. Conditions in the world are rapidly changing and companies are trying to gain a competitive advantage in their own IT. Uniqueness is obviously very important factor of IT innovation and that is the reason, why many companies implement their changes as a project. These projects must be directed to a succesfull outcome, therefore many methodologies was created to manage it. Current project are under greater pressure on the duration and cost of supply while maintaining high quality, which in practice means that to deliver successful projects is becoming increasingly difficult. Therefore, there should be greater emphasis on risk management, so an event that may threaten the success of the project. It is needed to learn and look for better and more efficient ways of Risk Management. The main scope of this thesis is to compare two project management methodologies (Prince 2 and RUP -- Rational Unified Process) with internal methodology of chosen IT company from the perspective of risk management and then to compare the project practices with the methodologies, to find any anomalies or errors and provide suggestions for improvement. Another objective is to find out and describe project risk management trends, and introduce some tools to support project risk management.

The diploma thesis focuses on optimization of the current project management in the organization. It assesses compliance with the seven principles of project management according to the PRINCE2 methodology in particular. Moreover, the thesis elaborates a project proposal. The overall objective of the thesis is to implement project management tools in the company.

This thesis focuses on project management. The introduction defines the basic concepts of project management and describes the most frequently used project management methodologies focusing on PRINCE2 methodology. The main body of the thesis focuses on processes in the chosen ICT company, more specifically on process reengineering and on the description of related documents. After a brief introduction of the company and its project history the thesis moves on to describe the current project management processes and related documentation in detail. Following this, the processes are re-designed according to the PRINCE2 methodology. Recommendation regarding the processes are given as well as recommendation regarding the appropriate documentation. Drafts of selected documents are made.

The thesis is divided into theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part is devoted to project management and foundations of information systems and information technology. The practical part of this thesis is a case study about an already closed project which handles implementation of a new information system in LeasePlan Czech Republic, Ltd. The main outcome of the case study is a comparison of project processes with the processes of the PRINCE2 methodology. The partial aim of the study is to identify the main threats that were found in the project. The outcome of this thesis is to propose recommendations and templates for the selected documents that can help manage and improve future projects in the company.

The thesis is focused on project management, specifically on the design of the process solution of project - The implementation of changes in a data warehouse in a selected company. The first is defined theoretical background needed to design the solution. The first part of the solution starts with a brief introduction of chosen company and its data warehouse department. This introduction includes basic information about data warehouse itself. Next are defined conditions that have an effect to the form of the project management process. Those conditions are the criteria, form and environment of release management and change requests. The solution design is based on those criteria and it using elements of PRINCE2 methodology. The organization structure of project is built first. The life cycle of project follows with its key milestones. The project management process is divided into phases according to the project lifecycle. The inputs, outputs, process activities diagrams and responsibility matrix are defined for each phase. The result of the solution is evaluated and compared against the PRINCE2 methodology from which it came from.

This diploma thesis topic is project management and its application in selected company. The main objective of this thesis is to evaluate the level of project management in the selected company Volkswagen Financial Services Ltd. and in the case of deficiencies, propose appropriate measures. The thesis is divided into two parts, the theoretical and the practical. The theoretical part was created by the processing of secondary sources. These sources were mainly literature supplemented by Internet resources dealing with the topic. Own work deals with the characteristics of the company and its project management. On the selected project was shown to the functioning of project management at Volkswagen Financial Services Ltd. Data collection for the development of their work was to study the documents of the company freely available on the Internet or provided by the company. Another source of data were personal interviews with company employees, mainly project managers and observing the functioning of company. In the next part of the thesis is an assessment analysis of project management. It is also suggested several recommendations in the functioning of project management in companies. These measures should improve the functioning of project management in companies.

The thesis compares main widespread project management methodologies (PMBOK, PRINCE2) and Czech methodology tailored for specific turbulent environment in Czech Republic (EPMS). The philosophies, structures and approaches of all project management methodologies are described in this thesis. Main pros and cons of methodologies are briefly shown and important issues of their implementation are described in the thesis. The process-driven approach, which have all methodologies in common, is mapped to demanded processes of ČSN ISO 10006:2004.

The aim of this thesis is modification of the teaching block IS/ICT Project Management at the Department of Information Technologies of the Prague University of Economics by the risk management issues. At present, insufficient space is given to this topic and this may thus create the feeling with the students that this is a marginal issue in the project management. The theoretical starting points to this thesis are above all the PMBOK methodologies of the PMI organization and further the PRINCE2 of the OGD organization. As these are the internationally acknowledged IT project management standards, therefore the key significance is given to them as to the theoretical starting points. Naturally, the part of these methodologies related to the project management is utilized of them. To sketch in the point of view of the issue, the RIPRAN methodology is added that is of Czech origin and was developed by doc. Ing. Branislav Lacko of the Brno University of Technology. This methodology deals only with the risk management. The own new point of view of the risk management that comes out from the above-mentioned theoretical presumptions is divided into following parts: planning, identification, qualitative analysis, quantitative analysis, project simulation, evaluation. As the primary utilization of this thesis is for the students of the Prague University of Economics, namely above all for the students of the given course, this fact is taken into account also in the course of work with the risks. This means, among others, that it is not possible to implement the project according to the plan, and thus simulation tools are utilized for its implementation. All aspects coming out from this school environment have been included in the thesis. A tool in MS EXCEL table editor has been developed for the work with the risks where all steps of the risk management are carried out, namely including the data for subsequent creation of the outputs -- reports, analyses, etc. An advantage of this environment is the possibility of its utilization for automatic procedures. Full use of this characteristic has been made in the tool.

This thesis deals with the issue of project management in the development of custom software, particularly PRINCE2 methodology and agile approaches to software development. The work is divided into two parts. The first part is theoretical. It describes the basic concepts of project management, project history and characterizes the selected software development methodologies. The classical methods are represented by waterfall and spiral models. In the context of the agile methods are described Scrum, Extreme Programming, Kanban and Scrumban. Regarding the standards of project management this thesis describes in detail the methodology PRINCE2 which at the end of the theoretical part will be compared to the standards of PMI and IPMA. The second part is practical and describes an adaptation of PRINCE2 for small projects and helps to decide which tools of PRINCE2 are required for small projects use and which ones can be ignored. In this thesis the process of managing product delivery within the PRINCE2 methodology is replaced by the agile methodology Scrumban that is adapted for a software development within analyzed organization. The thesis focuses on a more detailed description of the methodology Scrumban, established metrics and motivation within the development team.

This thesis deals with the practical use of project methodologies in real business. Basic concepts of methodology, project management, project cycle and project roles are defined in the theoretical section as well as two concrete project methodologies. The practical part are these theoretical aspects bridged into practice and daily business on examples of specific projects. Afterwards their real use in practice is evaluated and compared.
