Two projects: Both successful, one a failure

Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper › peer-review

Abstract

This research examines two concurrent computer deployments. Both achieved their goals within budget but one was considered a success and one was considered a failure. The critical decision points and impact between these projects suggests a role-based decision model in which bias affects the perception of technology deployment success. Scale does not appear to have affected this perception.
