Key performance indicators and project success

Key performance indicators and project success

Please read carefully:

The research concerns understanding what success on projects mean, and how to measure success in quantifiable way so that projects can be compared and benchmarked.

Business generally uses KPIs to measure the organizational performance and the success in the quantifiable way. KPIs could employ to measure the project delivery success.

Methodology: This exploratory study, The data collected through “Semi-structured Interview”, with 6 experts in project management, the sample identified through “convenience sampling” method. The interviews recorded and transcribed. Attached the interviews transcript. And they should be analysed in any quantitative analysis method like “thematic analysis”.

The interviews was face to face , online, and by phone , they have been recorder and then transcribed , attached 5 interviews as word file the 6th interview will be uploaded later tomorrow.
The thesis will be around if I want to suggest an outline for the Lit review: the Lit review would start with project success, what is succuss in projects? Success criteria and critical success factors? Project delivery success and project success? Previous work on project success measurement? And if it is measuring the project success or project delivery success or both “Yet some confusion exists between project delivery success and project success, where the latter is obviously influenced by factors beyond the control of the project team and sometimes outside the boundaries of the project itself”. Langston 2013 , attached.

Attached many files, there is 5 Phd desertions attached, each one have a good literature review on project success. And you can refer to the original references used in the Phd dissertations rather than referring to the Phd dissertation itself in your thesis references.

This section would lead to a conclusion that there is still a need for measurement to measure the “project delivery success in quantifiable way” , measurement that reflects the balance between the competing constraints (time, cost, quality) .

Business generally uses KPIs for this purpose, so my suggestion that the second part of lit review will be on KPIs ,and you can start with the performance management and measurement ( attached neely book and papers) , its purpose , requirement of an effective performance measurements, then the measures metrics and kpis , what are the Kpis , why they used ? Characteristics of the good Kpi , and you can finish with the KPis in the project management ( the previous work on that ) .

The thesis should be around 15000 words. In addition to thesis I need and I will order, a 5000 words.. summary of the thesis , a conference paper that suitable for future conference publication. In both cases the work includes a rationale for the research, underpinning and fully referenced literature review, articulation of an appropriate method, collection of data, analysis, discussion and conclusions.

At least 45 peer reviewed journal articles should be used in the research.

Below some ideas on the project success. And in the attachment some Phd dissertations which are so useful in writing the literature review. And many important journal articles that related to the topic. (Langston article is a good start and should be appeared in the references and used in the research) .

Another book should be used in the research its available online:
Project Management Metrics, KPIs, and Dashboards A Guide to Measuring and Monitoring Project Performance
Harold R. Kerzner 2013 .Online access.

All the attached files are important; they will save your time in research. Some are Master thesis with good review on KPis and performance measurement.

If you need any article , please let me know I have access to most of the journals.
