Abstract

Organizations are under constant pressure. Externally, they face a scenario of intense competition, coupled with a changing environment which is full of uncertainty. Internally, organizations have to deal with limited resources, whilst at the same time comply with increasing requirements and strategic demands. A key to success is the successful management of organizational projects. According to worldwide studies, information systems and information technology (IS/IT) projects have a relatively low success rate. To face these various business challenges, the authors suggest that emphasis should be put on the integration of various and disperse management tools. By combining project management maturity models with benefits management approaches, the authors expect to reinforce support for the drive to use organizational projects to fulfill organizations' strategic plans that will enhance the control techniques of project management, whilst recognizing the need for organizational change and for ensuring the interpersonal skills necessary to orchestrate the successful completion of a project.
