“…Others research the effects of PM on project success demonstrating a significant and positive relationship [34]. Recently Serrador and Turner (2015) showed that project efficiency (meeting cost, time, and scope goals) correlates moderately strongly to the overall success of the project (meeting wider business and company goals defined by key stakeholders) [35]. Other researchers highlight that project success is best judged by the stakeholders, in particular by the the main sponsor [36].…”

Sustainability is a field of growing interest in Project Management (PM). Literature on Sustainability in PM is abundant at a theoretical level; however, it is necessary to explore hands-on approaches for designing models and practices. The purpose of this study is to introduce management systems as a practical tool for Sustainability in PM. Management system certifications are used as an indicator of the implementation of Sustainability practices, and thus, the impact of Sustainability on the success of projects is analyzed. The methodology for this study includes the analysis of the correspondence between Sustainability and five recognized management system standards (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 50001, UNE 166002 and OHSAS 18001) and experimental research based on data delivered by CDTI (Center for Industrial Technological Development) including relevant and objective information about R&D&I Projects in the energy sector. This study analyzes the impact of four variables (duration, budget, year of funding and certifications to management systems) on the success of the project. The conclusion is the significant positive impact of having management system certifications on the success of company projects analyzed in the Spanish energy sector, which may be of interest to PM practitioners in order to consider Sustainability as a factor for success.

“…Finally, functional project performance is predicted by the gain in teamwork team self‐efficacy, but budget and time project performance are not predicted by gains in task work team self‐efficacy. This is interesting in light of recent research, which shows that being on time and within budget are not necessarily useful measures of project success (Serrador & Turner, ).…”

“…There is a direct relationship between project success and project efficiency as the latter contributes considerably to the former (Serrador & Turner 2015). Mir and Pinnington (2014) however, argue that more emphasis should be placed on the other dimensions as project efficiency is the least important.…”

“…Project success was initially determined based on the triple constraint of time, cost and quality (Ika 2009;Jugdev & Müller 2005;Todorović et al 2015). However, it was realised that this perception was incomplete and stakeholder views had to be included, as well as benefits realisation (Baccarini 1999;Chih & Zwikael 2015;Lappe & Spang 2014;Marnewick 2016;Serra & Kunc 2015;Serrador & Turner 2015;Wateridge 1998). The proliferation of project management led to the inception of various standards and methodologies such as PMBOK ® Guide, P2M, APMBOK ® , PRINCE2 and ISO 21500.…”

Background: Information communication and technology (ICT) projects are different from other projects, such as construction, and require a new perspective to determine their true nature. The lacklustre state of ICT projects has plagued researchers and practitioners for decades as they are yet to understand why ICT projects do not perform. Literature places significant emphasis on success criteria and success factors for determining project success, but this is a unilateral view as the level of complexity involved is underestimated. ICT projects, however, are multifaceted as there are a number of dimensions that influence the management and outcome of a project.Objectives: This article aimed to illuminate how the dimensions are interdependent and interconnected through the construction of a conceptual model of ICT project complexity.Methods: Content analysis was used to identify and understand the various dimensions and facilitated construction of the model.Results: The article identified five dimensions that affect ICT projects, viz. project success, project lifecycle, project complexity, project types and project methods. Each dimension was analysed to understand the key constructs and elements that need to be considered. The dimensions were mapped in a multidimensional model.Conclusion: The multidimensional model of ICT project complexity can be used by ICT project managers to more effectively manage projects as they are provided with a greater understanding of ICT project influences.
