2.1. Identification of issue or problem (affecting the delivery method) in the organisation: • Resource 2.1.1: Wateridge, J 1995, ‘IT projects: a basis for success’, International Journal of Project Management, vol. 13, no. 3, June 1995, pp 169-172.

This academic research paper investigates the key criteria on which the success of projects are judged, and the factors that influence that success or lead to failure. Wateridge, a PHD researcher in the field of IT, proposes a set of key criteria, or critical success factors, by which the success of projects can be determined. A survey of relevant literature was compared to extensive personal research conducted by the author, making up the basis of the findings presented …show more content…

The authors intend to convince the reader that stakeholder management needs to be more broadly focused on engagement in order to move projects from installation to implementation. Instead of being purely hierarchically focused project teams needs to take into account the fluid political nature of organizations, both internal and external. Projects that start with the premise that identifying a range of stakeholders and engaging with them in a consistent and organized manner will improve project success, according the propositions made in this paper. The authors state that stakeholder management processes have regularly failed to take into account the dynamic nature of the stakeholders’ commitment to a project and the relationships between different stakeholders as a project progresses. By having project teams focused not only on their own stakeholder role, but also communicating with other key stakeholders in a project and how they interact, project teams will experience more consistent success and achievement of project …show more content…

So much so that (PMI, 2013) has devoted a complete new chapter to stakeholder management. It is therefore imperative that in order for projects to be successful, especially in a program or portfolio, stakeholders need to be identified and involved as team members and being held accountable from the earliest stages of projects. Procedures and systems for identifying, analysing and managing of the stakeholders through all stages of projects need to be in place before projects commence. The literature in this document provides good guidelines to implement these and make them part of portfolio, program and project management

    Success varies between projects because they differ in size, complexity, and uniqueness and therefore the criteria used to measure success will vary as well. Individuals and stakeholders may interpret project success in various ways and the industry itself lends further variation on viewpoints about performance (Davis, 2017). The opinions of success, and how important success dimensions are, vary ‘by individual personality, nationality, project type, and contract type’ (Mir & Pinnington, 2015). To accommodate for various projects a high level success framework includes project efficiency, customer impact, team impression, business requirement accomplishment, and planning for the future (Mir & Pinnington, 2015). Determining whether the targeted

  • Examples Of Agile Project Management

    INTRODUCTION The application of information, expertise, tools, and procedures to project activities to meet the project requirements is known as project management (PMBOK 2008). Alternatively, project management is the process in which projects are well-defined, planned, supervised, organized and conveyed such that the agreed features and requirements are fulfilled (APM BOK 2006). Success of IT projects is very much dependent on providing the anticipated product at the projected time, within budget, its desired performance levels, acknowledged by the client, offering at least the minimum agreed functionality i.e. meeting customer satisfaction, and delivering the promised benefits (Dalcher and Brodie, 2007).

  • The Complexity Theory In Project Management

    911 Words  | 4 Pages

    To organise for project management requires an understanding of the organisation’s architecture which includes the organisational hierarchy - the grouping of internal business units, the authority lines and interaction with one another. Each of these aspects should be designed to support project management within the organisation. Structure should follow strategy or else it may impede communication, coordination and decision making which are all key to success (Brevis, 2014, p. 224). Hence, an important function of upper management is to support project teams by either redesigning the organisation to emphasize projects or integrating projects into the current organisation (Graham & Englund, 2004).

  • Project Management Project

    1251 Words  | 6 Pages

    While it has been discovered that project management chiefly orchestrated by a single person can lead to lots of confusion and misunderstandings as well as feelings of not being fully invested in the process by other team members, the CORE method of project management offers a more efficient approach by providing each member the opportunity to directly influence and impact various aspects of a project, thereby increasing understanding and a sense of ownership and responsibility. With the CORE method, the title “Team Leader” is used instead of Project Manager to highlight team unity among all persons involved with the project. Martin and Tate (2001) further expound on the importance of collaboration by offering eight principles of participatory management that focus on effective methods of team leader delegation, team member ownership and responsibility, establishing team consensus, and respect for teammates, to achieve the best overall projects results and customer

    An association's conveyance of business results is acknowledged through the achievement of projects; thus, project administration is the technique and procedure through which associations understand their targets and achievement. More than 50% of senior administrators distinguish building a solid project-administration discipline in their association as among the main three needs for their association (PMI, 2010). Besides, driving associations have understood the significance of project administration and grasped project administration as a device to control costs and enhance projects and association comes about.
