Clarifying Is Project Complexity Through Factor Analysis, Nazeer Joseph, Carl Marnewick
The African Journal of Information Systems
Research shows that the information systems domain is underrepresented in project complexity as it has only eight percent representation within the project complexity landscape. Emphasis is placed mostly on generic project management and engineering project management. This begs the question of how well IS project complexity is understood in literature? The goal of this research is to perform the groundwork for developing new theoretical foundations for information systems (IS) project complexity by enriching previous work. Complexity theory was applied to develop a comprehensive theoretical model for IS project complexity. The IS project complexity (ISPC) model was developed and revealed that …

A Conceptual Information Technology Project Management Assurance Framework, Elizabeth Mkoba, Carl Marnewick
The African Journal of Information Systems
Over the last decade, information technology (IT) projects have continued to fail at an alarming rate. Project managers are still battling to manage and deliver successful IT projects in organizations. The conceptual information technology project management assurance framework developed consists of project assurance processes. The conceptual framework was validated through a survey of 121 IT project managers from organizations in seven African countries. The purpose of this paper is to present research findings on how well project assurance processes are implemented and their importance in achieving a successful IT project outcome in organizations. The findings indicate that most project assurance …
