Abstract

Nowadays, improvement of the project management knowledge and developing the management methods, decrease the probability of the failure of the project. One of the most important processes that affect project goals is project risk management. Identifying and managing the risk triggers is an effective method in project risk management. Many years have passed since this concept was introduced but its application is so limited yet. This research endeavors to develop and make a better understanding of this concept as the main goal. Recognition and managing of this phenomenon help the project risk management process. It makes the best decision for having the right time to adopt a strategy and ultimately it reduced the negative impact of risk-taking on the project. Moreover, the type of contract always plays an important role in the raising of the risk. Therefore, in this study, it is selected to develop a concept of risk trigger phenomenon, in D&B contract which has many benefits and client's tendency. To explain the status and importance of risk triggers, its relationship with several important risks has been qualitatively analyzed. For this purpose, through library studies and existing sources, common risks of these types of contracts and their indicators have been identified and compiled. Moreover, by interviews with experts on risk and risk triggers, some important risks are identified and validated. Finally, a functional table of risk triggers is presented that is a great help to stakeholders in being prepared to respond to the risk triggers.
