Organisational learning from software project success

چکیده
This paper presents a method for using subjective factors to evaluate project success. The method is based on collection of subjective measures with respect to project characteristics and project success indicators. The paper introduces a new classification scheme for assessing software projects. The classification scheme is illustrated in a case study using data from 12 industrial projects. The results are positive and encouraging for future development of the approach.
