“…Research has been looking into projectification for almost 30 years. At the outset, research into the phenomenon focused primarily on the effects of a growing number of projects on permanent structures and processes and on the transformation organizations undergo as a result [5].

“…With the wide deployment of projectification (Midler, 1995) in increasingly diverse application contexts, the criteria and, more generally, the points of view for evaluating the outcomes of projects have diversified beyond the initial vocation of projects as temporary organizations for getting things done. Whereas academic research on project success is old and abundant (Pinto & Slevin, 1988), this very success of project management in contemporary society paves the way to an academic revival of the old notion of project evaluation, as evidenced by recent papers (Aubry et al, 2021;Fregolente et al, 2022;Pinto et al, 2021;Rode et al, 2022;Scheepers et al, 2022).…”
