Therefore, a qualitative research approach is proposed by interviewing IT managers on how their companies evaluate the success of IT projects. The evaluation of the survey provides fourteen success criteria and four success dimensions. This paper also thoroughly analyzes which of these criteria the management considers especially important and which ones are being missed in daily practice. Additionally, it attempts to identify the relevance of the discovered criteria and dimensions with regard to the determination of IT project success. It becomes evident here that the old-fashioned Iron Triangle still plays a leading role, but some long-term strategical criteria, such as value of the project, customer perspective or impact on the organization, have meanwhile caught up or pulled even.} } @Article{OJIS_2018v5i1n02_Harwardt, title = {IT Project Success from the Management Perspective - A Quantitative Evaluation}, author = {Mark Harwardt}, journal = {Open Journal of Information Systems (OJIS)}, issn = {2198-9281}, year = {2018}, volume = {5}, number = {1}, pages = {24--52}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:101:1-201804155750}, urn = {urn:nbn:de:101:1-201804155750}, publisher = {RonPub}, bibsource = {RonPub}, abstract = {This work investigates the effects that different success criteria and their dimensions may have on the success of IT projects. It focuses on a model that represents the management's view of the success of an IT project. This is of particular interest due to demand for developing and examining such a model. To show the effects of the success criteria and their dimensions a survey of 646 participants was conducted. The effects of the criteria and dimensions on IT project success were subsequently studied with structural equation modeling. Because of some inconsistencies within the original model of IT project success a deducted model had to be developed. Some of the success criteria and dimensions had to be rearranged or removed from the original model due to the results of the study. The new model shows that the perception and the results of a project have a significant impact on the success rating of an IT project.} }
