Abstract

Determining the factors that have an influence on software systems development and deployment project outcomes has been the focus of extensive and ongoing research for more than 30 years. We provide here a survey of the research literature that has addressed this topic in the period 1996–2006, with a particular focus on empirical analyses. On the basis of this survey we present a new classification framework that represents an abstracted and synthesized view of the types of factors that have been asserted as influencing project outcomes.

Reviewer: Angelica de Antonio

McLeod and MacDonell present a survey of relatively current research (from 1996 to 2006) about the factors that affect project outcomes in software systems development. They try to determine if there has been an evolution in the identified factors when compared with more traditional studies dating as far back as 1975. Their aim is to propose a comprehensive classificatory and analytical framework that allows both the categorization of the factors identified as relevant determinants of project success or failure and the facilitation of future research. As an interesting by-product, the resulting framework could also have practical use in risk management, helping to systematize the identification and management of potential risk areas. A total of 177 papers were reviewed for this study; only empirical research with a focus on software systems development was considered. The authors have made a very valuable synthesis of this huge amount of information, organizing the findings along four dimensions-people and action, project content, development processes, and institutional context-within which the empirical conclusions about the relevant factors are discussed in a narrative, with appropriate references to the sources where these findings are reported. An interesting discussion about the very concept of project outcome precedes the survey of factors, and an even more interesting discussion follows it. The authors stress the importance of the institutional context in which the development project takes place (an aspect almost neglected in early research) and the increasing evidence that people and process have a greater effect on project outcomes than technology. A final reflection on why projects still continue to fail-even if we seem to know the factors that lead to success-raises a question on the utility of prescriptive factor-based research and leads to considerations that could inspire future research.
