A comprehensive assessment of project success within various large projects
Description
Large scale projects are important drivers of social change. Even when operations follow best practices there are serious challenges, which all too often lead to failure in large scale projects. However, while large scale project success and failure have been widely studied there is no comparison of project success in large scale projects across different types of projects. This study reveals project success factors in the context of large scale projects by analysing 30 articles. This review systematically identifies and compares project success factors in three types of large scale projects: construction/infrastructure, aerospace/defence, and information technology. The paper offers practitioners and researchers a more comprehensive understanding of success in managing large scale projects and useful recommendations for future research.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
