Project Evaluation: A Mixed-Method Study into Dilemmas in Continuation Decisions

“…Project management practices are requisite to improve estimation of the risks and deterministic for the performance of IS/IT projects [6,30]. The practices suggest guidelines for successfully handle the projects and avoiding pitfalls during project executions.…”

Unmasking Corporate Sustainability at the Project Level: Exploring the Influence of Institutional Logics and Individual Agency

“…Project stakeholders interact with each other to complete these tasks as efficiently as possible, taking into account the triple constraint of time, scope and cost (Project Management Institute, 2004). Authority in traditional IS projects is top-down, originating from senior management (Gemino et al, 2008) and their representatives, project managers (Kirsch, 2000), and is supported by hierarchical structures. Major IS projects are governed by a wealth of standard methodologies and tools, such as project plans, functional specifications and project approval processes, that have been developed and institutionalized within this context (Mignerat and Rivard, 2012).…”

“…Membership in project association: Through collective expertise, a body of project management knowledge has been created (Gemino et al, 2008;Kirsch, 2000;Nelson, 2007) Social movements, environmental organizations, NGOs: Environmentally oriented movements can alter normative pressures within an organizational field, influencing green practice adoption (Carberry et al, 2014) …”

“…Project associations and managers: The Project Management Institute (PMI) and similar associations; project sponsors and steering committees located within the top echelons of the organization (e.g., Gemino et al, 2008;Jarvenpaa and Ives, 1991) and their representatives, project managers (e.g., Kirsch, 2000;Nidumolu, 1995) Ecosystem: Organizations must not only seek to mitigate ecosystem changes, but also to learn how to adapt to evolving conditions (Winn and Pogutz, 2013) …”

Unraveling equivocality in evaluation of information systems projects

“…We hence propose that: Project management, specifically in IS/IT investments, is highly essential to minimize the risks and thus vital to the performance of IS/IT projects (Gemino et al 2007). Practices of project management are typically comprised of holistic and complete guidelines on how to thoroughly deal with the process of IS/IT development.…”
