5. Conclusion
This research, which was conducted on information technology organizations active in Brazil,
concluded that internal and external factors interfere in a project, but only direct factors were
pointed out by the respondents as research question 1 and 2 show. The project manager’s behavior,
in this sample, was still conservative, and he chose trivial factors such as schedule, cost,
quality and scope as the most important ones to achieve a successful project and non-fulfillment of
the success factors as determining failure in projects. As to the understanding of success or
failure in projects, it was seen that this is not well formed. This shows that there is knowledge
but not
standardization.
