IS Project Characteristics and Performance
Journal of Global Information Management, 2000Empirical research on project-level success of systems development in developing regions is lacking. Managers cannot rely on prescriptions suggested by IS projects research in developed countries to understand IS projects in developing countries without empirical evidence supporting the applicability of these guidelines.

The Impact of Project Management Methodologies on Project Performance
International Journal of Information Technology Project Management, 2011The project management domain includes many well-defined methodologies such as the Project Management Body of Knowledge: PMBoK (Project Management Institute, 2008). On the other hand, project failures rate is quite high (Woolridge, Hale, Hale, & Sharpe, 2009). An interesting question is: Does using these methods improve project performances?

Project Performance Control in Reconstruction Projects
Journal of Construction Engineering and Management, 2000Cost, schedule, and quality are the main indicators of performance in construction projects. These indicators are highly interrelated and require some balance and trade-off among them to achieve efficient overall control over project performance. Focusing on these performance indicators, the primary objective of this study is to investigate the use of ...

Work Package Sizing and Project Performance
Operations Research, 2019In organizing a project’s tasks into manageable work packages (i.e., forming a work breakdown structure), trade-offs arise. Defining smaller work packages increases project complexity and workload, and reduces economies of scale, whereas defining larger work packages reduces concurrent processing and adversely affects cash flow.

A Synthetic Measure for the Assessment of the Project Performance
2009The present paper aims to offer a synthetic project performance indicator (PPI) that aggregates two input parameters obtained by the Earned Value Analysis. The PPI is calculated by using a Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) able to single out a measure based on the input parameters, instead of formulating a mathematical model that could be a troublesome task

Performance in the Project Trailer
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2007It is a well-established fact that construction is a complex process that involves technical and personal skills and requires many entities to work together to achieve a successful result. For that reason, formal partnering on construction projects in recent years throughout the United States has become a popular approach to total quality management ...

Qualityassurance/performance improvement projects
Journal of PeriAnesthesia Nursing, 1998Most nurses' first attempt at research will be a quality assurance or performance improvement project. Unfortunately, these terms do not even appear in the indexes of most nursing research textbooks. The limitations and common pitfalls of this type of research is covered in this paper.
