Applying the Slevin-Pinto Project Implementation Profile to an Information Systems Project
Peter Finch · Project Management Journal · 2003
This paper describes and evaluates the application of the project implementation profile (PIP) methodology to a recent information systems (IS) project within a global company. The methodology was developed by Slevin and Pinto in an attempt to assess which aspects of a project determine its success or failure. Potential weaknesses of the methodology are highlighted. Areas in which the methodology is unable to fully assist in determining critical factors for the successful implementation of an IS project are identified. Recommendations for future research are made.
