• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The dominant view in the information systems (IS) and
software engineering literature is that the
application of a rigorous pre-investment assessment
methodology is the key to ensuring the selection of
the best projects that is those with the highest
expected value for the organisation and with the
highest probability of success. While the literature
is replete with methodologies that take a narrow view
of project assessment, there is insufficient
attention given to the evaluation process itself and
to what constitutes successful project assessment.
This book deals aims to provide in-depth knowledge of
project assessment processes in practice and
re-conceptualise the notion of the project proposal,
the evaluation process and evaluation methodology
that reflect the needs and critical issues in
practice. These aims are achieved by conducting an
in-depth case study of project assessment processes
in a company with a history of high success rates of
its projects ($3 billion worth of successfully
delivered projects in the past few years).
