TAILIEUCHUNG - Project Management Practices: The Criteria for Success or Failure

Wisdom is applied experiential knowledge—knowledge beyond intel- lect—based on an unobstructed, unfiltered view of how things are. It is founded on the ability to accept things as they are as a starting point for meaningful, useful action. This ability to accept things as they are is enabled by working from one’s “center”—that calm, objective place from which action flows in a way that is perfectly appropriate to the situation at hand. Everyone can experience a sense of inner peace. Everyone has the ability to take a step back to see things objectively. Doing so makes project success more. | 234 Project Management Practices The Criteria for Success or Failure Project Management Practices The Criteria for Success or Failure Iman Attarzadeh Siew Hock Ow Department of Software Engineering Faculty of Computer Science Information Technology University of Malaya 50603 Kuala Lumpur MALAYSIA Email attarzadeh@ show@ Abstract Often software managers have to monitor and manage many projects concurrently. Unfortunately some projects were completed successfully but some were not completed on time over budget or being cancelled. Some of the reasons of this project failure are lack of user involvement lack of planning incomplete requirements lack of resources incorrect cost estimation just to name a few. There are many project planning and scheduling techniques to manage and help to ensure project success. Some of these techniques however may not be suitable for specific types of projects and thus cause projects to fail. This paper discusses the issues involved in project success and failure and presents the feedback of 50 undergraduate students who undertook a team project of the project management course. 1.
