It is well accepted that Information Systems (IS) are critical for the competitiveness of virtually any human organization. However, IS need constant attention to fulfill their role and keep pace with changes organizations. Therefore, success projects crucial and, consequently, organizations themselves since they closely related. Given complex nature participating objects related concepts (e.g., people, information, processes, technology), perspectives its influencing factors can be high...

This paper proposes the joint use of AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) and ICB (IPMA Competence Baseline), as a tool for decision-making process selecting most suitable managers projects.A hierarchical structure, comprising IPMA's 3.0 contextual, behavioural technical competence elements, is constructed selection project managers.It also describes implementation, illustrating whole with an example using all 46 elements model criteria.This can be high interest to decision-makers because it...

Nevertheless, project failures are still frequent mainly due to inadequate management practices and intrinsic characteristics projects industry. Even though has improved recent years, cost schedule overruns, low productivity final product quality problems common. this context, is crucial tool for improving operations overall...

This paper aims to provide new insights into information systems (IS) project management success. Even though many studies found in the literature show results of software development projects, few address success IS (socio-technical) projects. Responses an international survey, regarding 472 projects total, showed that is achieving high levels success; yet, only a minority end without changes scope, schedule or cost. Furthermore, cost are frequent this kind and do not significantly affect...

This study has significant implications for practice, research, and education by providing new insights into IT project success. It expands the body of knowledge on management reporting success (and not exclusively success), grounded in several objective criteria such as deliverables usage client post-project stage, hiring project-related support/maintenance services client, contracting projects vendor recommendation to potential clients. Researchers can find a set they use when studying...
