//Describe the tool, concept or theory and explain its purpose. The section should reflect the current state of the art on the topic
- To assess project success in general there are two views: the classic view of projects and the state of the art view of projects
- Classic view: Requirements, short-term output, time,cost&scope
- State of the art: Business case (overall), vision (overall vision of the project, portfolio), long-term benefits, priority: what are the most relevant success criteria? It is a more loose vision that the classic one. Less tangible
- Project management success: Deliver the requirements on time within budget. It os associated with efficiency. Doing things right. Planning in the right way and following the plan
- Project success: Delivering benefit in the long-term. Value of the project and its long-term benefits. That might be very difficult to estimate (this goes to limitations). This is associated with effectiveness
Application
(1000 words)
- How to measure them
- Examples?
//Provide guidance on how to use the tool, concept or theory and when it is applicable
Limitations
(500 words)
- When does it make sense to talk about project management/project success? Fex if a company is not project management driven
- When is only one success enough? Do we always need to have both kinds of success?
//Critically reflect on the tool/concept/theory and its application context. What can it do, what can it not do? Under what circumstances should it be used, and when not? How does it compare to the “status quo” of the standards – is it part of it, or does it extent them? Discuss your article in the context of key readings / resources provided in class. Substantiate your claims with literature
Annotated bibliography
Provide key references (3-10), where a reader can find additional information on the subject. The article MUST make appropriate references to the and reference material provided in class – either incorporating it as a source, or critically discussing aspects that are missing from it but covered by this article. Summarize and outline the relevance of each reference to the topic (around 100 words per reference). The bibliography is not counted in the suggested 3000 word target length of the article
