The development of information technology projects is no longer limited to the domestic sphere. This study identifies the differentiation of risk categories between global and domestic projects through an exploratory research carried out by means of a systematic literature review. 1367 risks were identified in 37 articles and classified within 22 categories. The major concern regarded in domestic project management was the client (external risk) and scope (internal risk) and, in global project management, the psychic distance (external) and coordination and control (internal). The main difference between the risk categories for each project type refers to the psychic distance category, which was identified almost exclusively in global projects, thus making the external risks more relevant than those in domestic projects. On the other hand, it makes risks such as client, supplier and stakeholders be underestimated. The results indicate that project managers should focus on different risks depending on the type of IT project: global or domestic.

系统审查国内和全球IT项目的风险

信息技术项目的开发不再局限于国内领域。本研究通过系统的文献综述进行了探索性研究，从而确定了全球项目与国内项目之间风险类别的区别。在37篇文章中确定了1367种风险，并将其分为22类。国内项目管理中考虑的主要问题是客户（外部风险）和范围（内部风险），在全球项目管理中，心理距离（外部）以及协调与控制（内部）。每种项目类型的风险类别之间的主要区别是心理距离类别，该类别几乎仅在全球项目中才识别出来，因此使外部风险比在国内项目中更为重要。另一方面，它使诸如客户，供应商和利益相关者之类的风险被低估了。结果表明，项目经理应根据IT项目类型（全球或国内）关注不同的风险。
