To support this movement, it is essential to have suitable measurement frameworks to assess the contribution of these activities and supply decision makers with valuable data on whether their objectives are being realized. This paper introduces the Multi-Objective Realization Method (MORE) to help measure the strategic contributions of programs. The main principles of MORE underline the importance of a formal strategy to elicit and develop program objectives and to frame those objectives within defined measurement dimensions.

A critical analysis of current research shows that several key challenges being faced in information systems (IS) projects include the lack of clearly defined objectives, mismatched stakeholders’ expectations and lack of sufficient or formal methods to aid practitioners in developing relevant performance criteria. This is accentuated by growing calls to rethink the traditional measurement paradigm. Moreover, most of the known solutions in practice are without structured or easily implementable procedures to elicit and develop performance criteria and measures. Against this background, the paper proposes a formal method to develop a comprehensive set of performance criteria or objectives grounded in the views of the project stakeholders and associated measures aligned to these objectives. The project performance framework (PPDF) primarily relies on the principles and advantages of the value focused thinking (VFT) and goal question metric (GQM) to elicit and develop these performance criteria and associated measures based on the values of the stakeholders in the project. Three project cases are used to illustrate and assess the model.

Based on expert practitioners’ contributions from across the globe including Brazil, Jamaica, Malaysia, Pakistan, Thailand, the United Kingdom, and the United States, Strategic Project Management: Contemporary Issues and Strategies for Developing Economies offers modern experiences, best practices, and tools for individuals and teams working in projects spanning diverse environments in developing economies. The book answers the questions: what are the issues and challenges experienced in "developing" countries and how can effective project management practices address them? It then presents strategies and sustainable solutions.
The book covers the foundations of project management, highlighting particular strategies that may resonate with organizations across the globe, particularly developing economies. It includes dialogue on project success criteria and performance evaluation techniques, stakeholder management, program and portfolio management, managing knowledge in projects and case studies across industries such as ICT, education and law. In addition, the book showcases:
Diverse perspectives and experiences in the effective management of projects from the developing economies
The importance of project maturity through the adoption of sound strategic project management principles
Application of project management standards and practices in specific domains
Emerging tools and techniques that can enhance the management of different types of projects
Opportunities for future research and collaborations

The significance of Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDDM) is on the rise because it serves as the glue to supporting the successful deployment of organizational learning for improved decision-making and competitiveness. The aim of this edited book is to provide some meaning or significance to organizations and persons who may be less experienced in the application of Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDDM) activities.
