A Conceptual Framework for IS Project Success

The global IT development is becoming ever more dominant. Notwithstanding, most of the projects of IS are not satisfied – the IS projects are still experiencing failure. This research reviews the IS project success with the multi-dimensional and multi-level approaches. Various works in academic journals and conferences from 1992 to 2016 were elaborated. The findings indicate that empirical studies are crucial. Interestingly, a mutual relationship between three themes of works (project success, IS success, and acceptance and use of technology) has been identified. Consequently, a conceptual framework provides the comprehensive explanation for IS project success is shown, which could be a promising avenue of IS research.
