The causal relationships among these components, as well as their relationship to software practitioners' overall perception of project success, were depicted through a Bayesian Belief Network. Components related to sponsor/management, customer/users and requirements management. Data was gathered through a survey of practitioners. This research is important because it provides graphic and quantitative findings of the 'downstream' implications of the investigated components on the probability of project success. The study's working definition of success reflects elements of software development that practitioners have indicated are important to them and, by extension, motivate them. Furthermore, motivation has been shown to have the single greatest impact on staff productivity, which has direct implications for the ability of organization to deliver software products on time, within budget and that meets customer/user requirements. |
