Project Success Factors
Project management important for success of system development project
2000 Standish Group Study Only 28% of system development projects successful 72% of projects canceled, completed late, completed
over budget, and/or limited in functionality Thus, project requires careful planning, control, and
execution

Role of the Project Manager
Project management – organizing and directing people to achieve a planned result within budget and on schedule
Success or failure of project depends on skills of the project manager Beginning of project – plan and organize During project – monitor and control
Responsibilities are both internal and external

Level of Formality Independent of type of project (predictive or adaptive) Independent of approach to development (structured
or object-oriented) Highly formal projects
Formal status reports, formal requirements, etc. Less formal projects
Agile Software Development Focus on the team, the users Plan for change, be flexible

Respond to opportunity Resolve problem Conform to directive
Project initiation comes from Long-term IS strategic plan (top-down) prioritized by
weighted scoring Department managers or process managers (bottom-
up) Response to outside forces (HIPAA)

Task Definitions
Critical path is the sequence of connected tasks that cannot be delayed without causing the project to be delayed
Slack time is that amount of time a task can be delayed without delaying the project
Float – another term used to define slack time Milestone is a definite completion point that is marked
by a specific deliverable or event

Organizational and Cultural Feasibility
Each company has own culture New system must fit into culture
Evaluate related issues for potential risks Low level of computer competency Computer phobia Perceived loss of control Shift in power Fear of job change or employment loss Reversal of established work procedures

3Technological Feasibility
Does system stretch state-of-the-art technology? Does in-house expertise presently exist for
development? Does an outside vendor need to be involved? Solutions include
Training or hiring more experienced employees Hiring consultants Changing scope and project approach
