Swedish IT Project Managers' Personality Traits Mirrored in the Big Five

Project Success

According to Lechler and Dvir (2010) project success could be achieved by applying: A multidimensional approach, a number of alternative management structures, and also by the following of a taxonomy approach. Other perspectives of successful projects are: Project management success, project success, and consistent project success. Project management success (i.e. whether the project was carried out the right way or not) includes factors like: Time, cost, quality, technical performance, scope and safety. Project success (i.e. whether the right project was carried out or not, or rather if the right product was delivered or not) presumes that expected benefits and values are realized as well as stakeholder satisfaction was attained. Consistent project success (i.e. whether the right projects are carried out the right way, time after time – or not) refers to an all-embracing success rate for all projects that are undertaken in an organization (Cooke-Davies, 2004). In contrast, the size of the organization does not affect the success; however, for IT projects to keep up with technology is a fundamental success factor (Peslak, 2012).
