SOFTWARE PROJECTS SUCCESS: DEFINITION, METRICS AND PERCEPTIONS OF PRACTITIONERS & STAKEHOLDERS – AN EVALUATION

Yaser Haj Yousef, Gabriela Peneva

When a software project achieves success, it is certainly not because it did not go through problems, but mainly because these problems were overcome. Success is perceptual, and perceptions vary based on the practitioners and stakeholder”s perspective, job, practices, organizational culture and goals. Practitioners and stakeholders’ perceptions of project success vary in time, and are influenced by project politics, environment, technical and managerial considerations, client cooperation, and the service provider motivation and appreciation. Motivation is not only a paycheck as it, among others, avoiding excessive use of rigid “Push and Follow”, granting reasonable freedom for the practitioners, and taking good care of working conditions together with securing acceptable stress levels, and showing a horizon for professional growth.
