Abstract

Program management presents unique challenges due to the complexity of interrelated projects and increased stakeholder engagement. While existing literature mainly focuses on project-level risk management, inter-project risks remain underexplored. This research addresses this gap by proposing a program risk analysis method that integrates project interdependence and stakeholder engagement. Leveraging social network analysis, the model enhances program risk management efficiency by identifying four types of inter-project risks and suggesting tailored response strategies. Through a case study of the Expo 2020 construction program, the effectiveness of the framework is demonstrated. This study enriches program and risk management literature, deepening our understanding of enhanced risk management in multi-project contexts.
