<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black">The challenge of successfully completing information technology (IT) projects is still prevailing. Dominant research streams focus on achieving success (i.e., through the identification of success
factors) or avoiding failure (i.e., through the identification of failure factors). In addition, a central aspect of IT project success research deals with the measurement of success. Whereas the traditional and still most widely applied approach to measure
success is adherence to planning (i.e., project conformance to budget, schedule, and specified requirements), criteria like stakeholder satisfaction or strategic benefits for the contracting organization have been proposed to be used additionally or alternatively
to adherence to planning. Beside the phenomenon of differences between traditional success assessments and subjective perceptions of stakeholders, the measurability of success criteria is an issue yet to be solved.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
