Abstract

Purpose–This study evaluated how effectively key stakeholders (project managers, team members, and clients) could predict I.T. project success. Every stakeholder had an independent perspective on the project's success, which made it possible to evaluate the project's success by considering all the stakeholders' points of view.

Study Design/Methodology/Approach–Two focus groups studied how project managers, teams, and clients could determine I.T. project success. The study focused on assessing I.T. project success from various perspectives. Five to six stakeholders from different sectors with personal experience in I.T. projects participated in that study.

Findings – The results suggested that successful I.T. projects that met business goals, improved operational efficiency, and produced significant returns on investments depended upon communication and teamwork, and equal participation by all stakeholders, the project success would be improved.

Practical Implications – The research implications for project management strategies are that organizations could enhance their capacity to work together and achieve project goals by incorporating multiple stakeholder perspectives. This approach promoted creativity and encouraged IT solutions that aligned with business objectives.

Originality/Novelty – Project managers monitored I.T. project execution to balance corporate goals with technology demands. Project teams produced high-quality deliverables and communicated well to overcome difficulties. Clients preferred I.T. solutions that met their company objectives, improved operational efficiency, and provided significant ROI.
