Assessing Project Success

Managers achieve their long-term business goals or §objectives through strategies. They undertake §projects to realize these strategies. However, in §global businesses, only 2.5% of projects fully §succeed. Researchers found empirical evidence that §the high failure rate of projects is because §managers are not implementing projects that align §with the business strategy. Many researchers have §posited as to the possible affects of implementing §projects not aligned with the business strategy to §the poor alignment between business strategies and §project management. Others emphasized the role of §change as a key to the survival of the §organizations. Many others emphasized the important §role of change management as a key to project §success. However, none has studied the relationship §between change management process or integrated §change management process and project success. §Furthermore, no known research has been conducted to §test if project success in organizations who §implement integrated change management process §exceeds project success in organizations who §implement change management process. The researcher §focused on these aspects in the research.
