Discussion
Fig. 1 shows that three factors—project size, changes in project goals, and priority of the project—have no predecessors. In other words, the project management team has no influence in altering them and they are considered givens. From a project manager and project team’s perspective, these three factors are the constraints within which the project has to be executed. It must be understood that the project sponsor and key stakeholders can change these fac- tors, namely, the project size, priority of the project, and project outcomes or goals.
Likewise, three factors—top management support, participa- tion in decision making, and clearly defined project mission—are considered outcomes of the model presented in Fig. 1 and termed ends. They have predecessors but do not have successors. In other words, all the other contributing factors, combined together, can lead to a clearly defined project mission, getting top management support, and participation of the project team in decision making.
The remaining factors—policies and procedures, communica- tion, collaborative culture, and cohesive project team—are the means to achieve ends and act as connectors between givens and ends (Table 2).
The model is consistent with previous research findings. Fig. 1 demonstrates and past research suggests, that a clearly defined
