This paper draws on new empirical research from more than 70 large multi-national or national organizations to answer each of these three questions, and to identify 12 factors that are, in one way or another, critical to project success. #

The concepts of globalization apply to both large multi-national corporations and local organizations buying goods or services from other countries or contracting people globally. IT services like application development or outsourcing services are delivered as projects using global resources from different cultures. Therefore, this paper analyses whether considering cultural management as a core project management discipline positively impacts the success of globally delivered IT service projects and, thus, the business performance of projectbased IT organizations.

This while the need to relate critical success factors to project success criteria is identified in both theory and practice. The Project Excellence Model, described in this paper, is adapted from the EFQM-model and is a concept developed to fill this need. The Project Excellence Model is developed using research findings from both studies on success criteria and critical success factors for projects. The model consists of six result areas covering project success criteria and six organisational areas covering critical success factors. The Project Excellence Model uses five different project types to describe the project organisation, giving guidance to the application of the model. The paper includes findings of a case study showing how the model was used to improve the performance of a project. #

The indicators of project success are cost, time, technical performance and customer satisfaction as used in previous studies. The sample consisted of 239 project members and managers currently involved in infrastructure projects in Vietnam. Regression analysis was used to test five hypotheses developed from theories on project success. Three groups of factors including manager competencies, member competencies and external stability have significant positive relationships to the success criteria. The completion and implementation stages in the project life cycle are also positively related to success. The implementation stage of a project moderates both the effects of external stability and organization support on success. The implication for project managers is that implementation is the key stage in determining the success of projects.

It had an important significance to find the critical factors for the success of project. Based on the general analysis of IT project management, this paper analyzed some factors of project management for successful IT project from the angle of modern project management. These factors include project participators, project communication, collaboration, and information sharing mechanism as well as project management process. In the end, it analyzed the function of each factor for a successful IT project. On behalf of the collective goal, by the use of the favorable project communication and collaboration, the project participants carry out successfully to the management of the process, which is significant to the project, and make project achieve success eventually.

These projects often represent the single largest investment in an information systems project in the history of these companies, and in many cases the largest single investment in any corporate-wide project.

More and more companies are turning to off-the-shelf ERP solutions for IT planning and legacy systems management. The authors have developed a framework to help managers successfully plan and implement an ERP project.
