We investigate if different project environments impact the relationship between project methodologies and project success.Ī deductive approach was applied to validate a theoretically derived research model. This paper presents the results of the first stage of a larger study to determine the impact of the elements of a project methodology on the characteristics of project success. The impact of the project environment on project success may be one of the reasons for consistently poor project success rates. Research indicates a contingency between project success and project environment. Project methodologies are heterogeneous in composition and the parts (elements) of a methodology all play a role in supporting the project team throughout the project life cycle to achieve the projects’ goals. Research is split whether implementing a standardized or customized methodology say by industry sector, project type, team experience and culture, achieves better results. Each company must decide the best approach to select the most suitable methodology and whether to have one or more variations of a methodology.
Project methodologies are an integral part of the core make-up of a project because all companies using project methodologies expect greatly improved project performance.
