Business and project strategy alignment: ICT project success in Iran

Author

  • Soltani, Elham

Abstract

This study aims to examine the relationship and alignment between business and project strategy and their impact on the success of information and communications technology (ICT) projects. The proposed conceptual model was tested through structural equation modelling (SEM), with an analysis of SmartPLS based on survey data from 144 firms. The results indicate that project success is positively influenced by project strategy, while business strategy shows no impact on project success. In addition, alignment between business strategy and project strategy affects project success positively.
