Measuring Success of Water Reservoir Project by Using Delphi and Priority Evaluation Method

Abstract

Traditionally project success has been defined in terms of the time, cost and quality. Extending the traditional triangle to include other factor of stakeholders and end-user provide a more complete view of project success. The aim of the study is to determine the factors that can be used to assess water reservoir project success. The factors for project success in from previous study have been identified and then, narrowly to determine the critical success factors by evaluating the appropriateness of the factors. Delphi method has been applied and a one day seminar has been conducted with a group of expert who involved in construction of water reservoir project in a water company agency. An initial questionnaire has been asked during the seminar through brainstorming and discussion session to identify potential success factors. Following from the seminar, a questionnaire survey was distributed to the participant for the purpose to establish the level of important of the factors. From the feedback of thirty (30) expert opinion and fourteen (14) returned expert surveys, refined seven (7) clusters of project success factors were identified: Clear Realistic Objectives; Quality Factor; Time Factor; Cost Factor; Deliverable; Legacy System; and Safety, Health and Environment. A template for measuring project success has been produced base on Priority Evaluation Method. At the end, five (5) actual projects in the water company agency have been used to show the application of the measuring project success template specifically for the water reservoir project. It has been used to determine the successfulness of each project. It shows that the main factor of an unsuccessful water reservoir project in this case are because of unclear realistic objectives, deliverable issue and time factor.

[Retracted] An Evaluation Model of Agricultural Entrepreneurial Ecological Environment Quality Oriented to Public Health Topic Using the Optimized Neural Network Algorithm

“…Among these are the fuzzy integrated evaluation model [7], the comprehensive index evaluation method [8], the hierarchical analysis method [9], the Grey relational analysis method [10], the principal component analysis method [11], and the artificial neural network method [12]. To construct an evaluation index system of agricultural eco-environmental quality for the study of sustainable development of an agro-ecosystem, literature [13][14][15] and others have used a combination of hierarchical analysis, the Delphi method, a multilevel fuzzy evaluation model, and other methods.…”

Models and methods for information systems project success evaluation – A review and directions for research

“… No limitations were described by the authors. Water reservoir projects Sample: 5 projects (experimentation in practice) ( Ismail, 2020 ) Project performance assessment method Activity Based Cost (ABC) It provides accurate information. It helps to optimize the decision of public expenditure.…”

“…(2011) ; Lacerda et al. (2011) ; Barclay and Osei-Bryson (2009) ; Gonçalves and Belderrain (2012) ; Ismail (2020) ; Dachyar and Pratama (2014) ; Sanchez-Lopez et al. (2012) ) describe the use of the proposed model/method in real projects and discuss the practical implications of its use.…”

“…In other words, only about 20% of the published models/methods for evaluating project success present empirical evidence of its feasibility and real usefulness. It is necessary to remark that, even in these cases, overall, only one project or a small set of projects of the same entity are reported, not being possible to ascertain if the model/method has been used beyond the reported project(s) (one exception is Ismail (2020) ).…”
