Order Description

There is strong evidence in the research literature that a high percentage of information systems projects in organizations are deemed as partial or total failures. A completed project that does meet the planned scope, budget, completion deadline, or quality goals is typically classified as a “failure.” Chapters 3 and 4 in your course textbook address information systems project identification, planning, and management.

The Tasks:

Drawing from the information on information systems project management presented in Chapters 3 and 4, and a minimum of four sources on this topic located through web-based research, write a short research report addressing the following topics in labeled sections:
•A concise explanation of what qualifies as a “success” in an information system project.
•A discussion of why it is so difficult to succeed in an information systems project environment. In other words, what IS project-related factors typically lead to project outcomes deemed as failures?
•An identification of, and a convincing argument for, strategies that can be used to potentially overcome the factors identified and discussed in the previous section.
