Abstract:
This work presents a risk diagnosing methodology (RDM) web-based tool, that can provide to Small and Medium Enterprises (SME’s) the capability to identify, evaluate and manage the risks associated with a company’s idea development project portfolio. This tool was conceived to support successful innovative product/service development projects, from its idealization to its commercialization, and to encourage SME’s on systematic use of risk management approaches in order to increase their successful rates. This paper also includes a brief literature review of some of the risk management tools and models available to SME’s, as well as comparative analyses of the identified similar tools.
