Abstract

The goal of this investigation is to examine the types of project management criteria used in projects in Norway. The results suggest that investigated projects are managed using an incomplete set of success criteria. Projects are poorly aligned with corporate strategies and users needs. They are poorly initiated and focus only on narrow operational goals. The results also indicate that these criteria undergo several changes during the execution phase, which can cause the project to lose focus and generate unwanted outcomes such as delays, unsatisfied users and financial losses.
