“…Second, the revised framework incorporated coherently the six dimensions of an IS project, i.e., the resource [29][30][31], stakeholder [32][33], management [19][20][21], system [15], [26][27][28], direction [22][23][24][25], and the environment [3], [34][35] dimensions. The resource layer was adoption, adaptation, and combination of the components of the triangle model [29], and the diamond model [40] considering the total quality project management concepts [35].…”

“…Following Xu et al [47], in this case, the term of IS project is defined interchangeably with information technology (IT) or information and communication technology (ICT) project in the context of their developments to encourage the processes and services of the institution's business functions. The researchers [8] then developed the first framework by combining the management [19][20][21], direction [22][23][24][25], resource [29][30][31], stakeholder [32][33], and the environment [3], [34][35] dimensions as a term of the project success criteria, i.e., the efficiency and effectiveness [19], [29][30], [41,47], user satisfaction [41,45,47], and the functional fulfilment [48] of the project requirements. As regards the Belaut and Gauvreau's description [49], they developed an IS project success model by combining the DeLone and Mclean's IS success model [15], [26][27] with the McLeod and MacDonell's project classificatory framework [24,25] in term of the Davis's information processing theory [28] in respect of the developed framework [8].…”

This paper elucidates the sequential revisions of an information system (IS) project framework across the research model development and its examinations. The authors adopted, adapted, and combined five concepts of the project management discipline and the information processing theory Keywords: ICT project framework, multi-dimensional perspectives, interrelation concept, model validationCopyright © 2016 Universitas Ahmad Dahlan. All rights reserved. IntroductionOne of reasons why numerous studies [1][2][3] indicated that the IS project management is the immature discipline; it may because the performance of the projects still show its high failure rate [4]. As it was initiated by the Standish Group's report in the mid of 1990s, and the similar announcements were presented by numerous survey studies [5][6][7]. In respect of this issue, Subiyakto and Ahlan [8][9] identified several gaps of this field, among others, there are the ambiguity of the project success definition [10][11][12], the use of the partial perspective in its success measurement [12][13][14][15], and the tendency of the critical success factor (CSF) determination methods [7,9]. Accordingly, they proposed a coherent-conceptual framework based on their scanning the depth and breadth of the body of knowledge in the research field [8]. They hoped that the framework will be one of references for researchers and practitioners to understand the success of an IS project in term of its multi-dimensions. Sequentially, these scholars developed their IS project success model [16] and then, examined the model qualitatively [17] and quantitatively [18].The next questions are how to explore the framework following its development and the examinations of the research model and how to understand the interrelationship between this framework and the model. These issues may be a triviality for many scholars who had experiences and expertise in the research works, but these are not for the beginners or inexpert ones in the works. Besides the clarity of the interrelationship is one of the significant points of a research model assessment, it is also rare to be presented in many literatures. This paper demonstrates the development and its revisions of an IS project framework and its interrelationship with the research model. The objectives are to explore theoretically the revised framework and to understand its interrelationship with the examined model. This framework and its model mapping, which were represented here, they may be a learning point for scholars, particularly in their model validity developments. There are the four main sections of the paper. First, the literature review section elucidates the basis theories and concepts of the

“…Structurally this study is similar to ours in terms of comparing risks and effects, but the definition of risks and methods to handle them and comparing them is different. Costa et al uses The relationships between project setting, governance and project success are studied recently in [18]. A survey has been conducted in attempt to prove the positive relationship between project management methodology (PMM) and project success.…”

Abstract-Risk identification and assessment are amongst critical activities in software project management. However, identifying and assessing risks and uncertainties is a challenging process especially for emergent software organizations that lack resources. The research aims to introduce a method and a prototype tool to assist software development practitioners and teams with risk assessment processes. We have identified and put forward software project related risks from the literature. Then by conducting a survey to software practitioners of small organizations, we collected probability and impact of each risk factor opinions of 86 practitioners based on past projects. We developed a risk assessment method and a prototype tool initially based on data that accumulates further data as the tool. Along with a risk prioritisation and risk matrix, the method utilises fuzzy logic to provide the practitioners with predicted scores for potential failure types and aggregated risk score for the project. In order to validate the usability of the method and the tool, we have conducted a case study for the project risk assessment in a small software organization. The introduced method is partially successful at prediction of risks and estimating the probability of predefined failure modes.

“…The issue of project success is the subject of discussion among a number of experts both in project management and other areas (Joslin & Muller, 2015;2013;Todorovic et al, 2015). There are a large number of metrics for the measurement of project success.…”
