Project Retrospectives: Evaluating Project Success, Failure, and Everything in BetweenNelson, R. Ryan (AIS Electronic Library (AISeL), 2008-02-08)The fact that the majority of IT projects fail on at least one measure of success, and that billions of dollars in project waste is reported each year, suggests that there is a critical need for improving the way we manage these projects. The sobering truth is that the secret to more successful project management has been right in front of us the whole time-learning from the past. A retrospective (a.k.a. a postmortem) is a formal method for evaluating project performance, extracting lessons learned, and making recommendations for the future. A comprehensive retrospective considers three process-based measures of project success: whether it came in on schedule (time), whether it came in on budget (cost), and whether the requirements were met (product). It also considers three outcome-based measures of success: whether the resulting product or service was actually used (use), whether the project helped prepare the organization for the future (learning), and whether the project improved efficiency or effectiveness of the client organization (value). This article presents several retrospectives of IT projects to illustrate the importance of evaluating project success from these multiple dimensions, as well as from different stakeholder perspectives. Doing so can lead to some valuable lessons in the form of "failed successes" (process success + outcome failure), and "successful failures" (process failure + outcome success).

Legal and project agreement issues in collaboration and e-Research: Survey resultsHeffernan, Maree E.; David, Nikki (2007-08)This report presents the results from a survey conducted by Queensland University of Technology’s Faculty of Law as part of the Legal Framework for e-Research Project, funded by the Australian Commonwealth Department of Education, Science and Training (DEST), under the Systemic Infrastructure Initiative (SII), Research Information Infrastructure Framework for Australian Higher Education, as part of the Commonwealth Government’s Backing Australia’s Ability - An Innovation Action Plan for the Future (BAA). This report presents initial results from a national survey undertaken as part of the Legal Framework for e-Research Project. The survey was designed to explore the nature of e-Research and collaborative research in the Australian context. It should be noted that results presented are initial findings and an analysis of the legal context and the development of strategies will be included in a more detailed Project report due for release in early September 2007. The survey aims to explore the nature of research collaborations and to identify common legal and project agreement problems encountered in forming research collaborations in order to form strategies to facilitate and streamline the process of e-Research in the Australian context. Specifically, the aims of the survey were to: • Identify e-Research activities and levels of engagement; • Understand the nature of the collaborative research landscape; • Investigate characteristics of informal collaborations and agreements; and • Explore legal issues related to data and databases.
