Abstract

This article examines factors affecting the success of IT projects. Data were collected about the leadership capabilities of IT project managers for 57 IT projects using the Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI). the assessments provided by supervisors, subordinates, and peers (but not the IT project managers themselves) were found to be significant predictors of project success, as measured by actual versus planned project duration times.
