Requirement Change Risk Management Of The South Group Hunan Rural Health Information Project

The main risk that developers of projects of information management systems face is not from developing techniques nowadays, but changes of requirements proposed by customers continuously in developing process. In modern project management, the lifetime of a project is divided into three stages:starting, execution, completion. The changes of requirements may arise in all stages of project management. Thus, the control of requirement change should not only be considered in the stage of project execution like the traditional way, but in all stages of the project lifetime. To get success of a project of information management system, a manager needs to minimize the negative effects of project changes and make the requirement changes to be controllable and beneficial. The key issue to achieve this goal is how to manage the customer requirements in all stages of a project and control the requirement changes in acceptable bounds.Starting from requirement analysis of a real information management system project, we studied the problems in the development of current information management systems and the possible reasons. Considered the real situation in the development of the project of country health information management system of Hunan province, we stated the meaning of the management of requirement analysis in the information management system project, and analyzed in detail the problems and risks in the requirement analysis of the project. The boundary of requirements is determined based on the investigation of different requirement changes in the project. The risk of the information management system project is evaluated based on the requirement boundary. Finally, the approaches and strategies of requirement analysis management of information management system project are proposed.The paper demonstrates empirically that the way of requirement boundary is feasible and practical, and the approaches and strategies of requirement analysis management of information management system project can be used to lower down the risks of failure due to requirement changes in the lifetime of an information management system project. The research results can provide reference for other similar enterprises.
