Journal of AIS, volume 2, number 5

This month's paper is by James J. Jiang of Louisiana Tech University, and Gary Klein and Morgan Shepherd both of the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. It is entitled “The Materiality of Information System Planning Maturity to Project Performance.”

This article addresses two critical success factors that have been examined in the past - project manager performance and IS planning maturity. However, until now, each of these factors has been studied independently of the other. This study proposes and empirically tests a model that examines the relationships between project manager performance and IS planning maturity and the relationship of both to project success. The results indicate that IS planning maturity is positively linked to project success and to project manager performance. Furthermore, project outcome is also positively related to the performance of the project manager.

The implication for practitioners is that the success of project management is not dependent only on the IS development process but has longer-term relationships to the IS planning process and its maturity. Not only is the development process important, but its organizational environment also plays an important role.
