NTCP MODEL IN R&D PROJECTS
Journal Title: Scientific Journal of the Military University of Land Forces - Year 2014, Vol 171, Issue 1
Abstract
In this paper the authors present a proposal for the application of the rhomboidal model (NTCP) to risk management of research and development (R&D) projects. The NTCP model describes the characteristics of the project using several dimensions: novelty, technology, complexity and pace. Based on the analysis of literature, it was noticed that at the beginning of their implementation, R&D projects did not often have fully known elements necessary to create a project plan, for instance specific breakdown structures (PBS, WBS or OBS). At the same time, it was concluded that the characteristics of their market are close to those of the market of business-government (B2G) projects and their features are similar to the features of projects of the pharmaceutical industry as well as IT. Thus, the most important dimensions of the pure rhomboidal model of R&D projects are innovation and technology. The authors chose those components of the dimensions that best characterize R&D projects and basing on that they defined the rhomboidal model adapted to the specificity of R&D projects. The rhomboidal model defined in this way allows one to estimate risks associated with the various dimensions of the project and to monitor the changes which often occur during R&D project implementation.
