As study was being done, a number of aspects were not covered due to limited resources and time. Moreover, the study only involved 10 participants who were reached out through survey monkey. The small sample size in this case was informed based on the financial and time constrain faced by the researcher. Therefore, it is suggested that future further studies are carried out using a larger sample size to determine the main risks associated with cloud computing projects and establish the use of effective risk management in cloud computing projects. Further studies that involve multiple data collection tools that include interviews, focus group discussion and systematic review of literature are also recommended, paying close focus on the use of effective risk management in cloud computing projects.
