Abstract: Advances in technology and the use of the Internet have had a massive and permanent influence on our lives. In this regard, there is growing concern about the type of development and the long-term quality of Web applications, which form the largest share of individual software developed today. Web applications is a new application domain that require an adaptation of many software engineering approaches or even the development of completely new approaches to make it possible to plan and iterate web application development processes and facilitate their continuous evolution. This in turn permits cost reduction, the minimization of risks and quality enhancement. Many failures associated with web projects are the consequences of poor awareness of the risks involved and the weak management of these risks. Although, many approaches have been proposed to overcome this shortcoming, there is still a huge gap between these approaches and actual industry needs. This research aims to improve web project risk management by proposing an operational risk approach to avoid risks in web projects development and improve the chances of managing critical risks beforehand. The study presents a case study of the practical applications of the proposed approach in an actual web project.
