This study focuses on discovering the Critical Success Factors (CSFs) of the implementation of Information Technology (IT) or Information System (IS) related projects as the enablers to many organizational transformations. The core method for developing the CSFs is through Systematic Literature Review (SLR) for compiling past research related to CSFs to come up with a set of CSFs (as independent variables) to achieve IT/IS project success. As a result, five independent variables, namely, Leadership/Project Management; Effective Organization Communication; Project Team Capability/Competence; Methodology, Tools, and Techniques; and Project Documentation emerged and were processed further through the Likert survey method from 132 respondents of IT system implementers in Southeast Asian settings, particularly Indonesia, to study the possible relationship the variables might have toward IT Project Success as the dependent variable. The study's findings revealed that Effective Organization Communication, Project Team Capability/Competence, and Methodology, Tools, and Techniques have a significant relationship with IT Project Success, whereas Leadership/Project Management and Project Documentation are insignificant.

“…The organizational context that today's project managers must deal with in their everyday work situation is described by Ruuska and Vartiainen (2003, p. 307): "Today's organizations are often multi-project environments, where projects constitute a major part of business, and several project assignments are realized simultaneously". However, Peslak (2012) found that the size of the organization did not influence the IT project management success. Also Gillard and Price (2005) seem to have hit the head on the nail regarding the project managers' exposure by concluding that it is the project manager who is praised in times of success, but also the one who is blamed when things did not work out as well.…”

Recruitments of IT project managers are costly and time-consuming, which makes it important to handle them effectively. IT project managers' key function in IT projects conveys that the prerequisites in such job ads become extensive and hard to satisfy because of overloaded descriptions. The organization's core competence (henceforth CC) requirements need to be decisive and explicitly expressed. Hence, each recruitment process should involve the defining of what the CC qualifications are. Advertisements were collected (2010)(2011)(2012)(2013) and a CC lens was tested for assessment of CC criteria in order to get an indication of its value. The study's practical implication is an added understanding of the importance to discern what core competence/-s a specific project requires and furthermore to match those with the job requirements during the recruitment process. The implication for research is an inspiration for further development of methods for determining core competence criteria for recruiting IT-project managers.

“…Although IT project success is important for the overall IT success [28], there are no formal criteria for project success. However there is a criterion that is stated very well by Iriarte and Bayona [25].…”

Achieving success in information system and technology (IS/IT) projects is a complex and multifaceted endeavour that has proven difficult. The literature is replete with project failures, but identifying the critical success factors contributing to favourable outcomes remains challenging. The triad of Time-Cost-Quality is widely accepted as key to achieving project success. While time and cost can be quantified and measured, quality is a more complex construct that requires different metrics and measurement approaches. Utilizing the PRISMA Methodology, this study initiated a comprehensive search across literature databases and identified 142 relevant articles pertaining to the specified keywords. A subset of ten articles was deemed suitable for further examination through rigorous screening and eligibility assessments. Notably, a primary finding indicates that despite recognizing usability as a critical element, there is a tendency to neglect usability enhancements due to time and resource constraints. Regarding the influence of usability on project success, the active involvement of end-users emerges as a pivotal factor. Moreover, fostering the enhancement of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) knowledge within the development team is essential. Failure to provide good usability can lead to project failure, undermining user satisfaction and adoption of the technology.
