Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Governmental project selections are subjective. In an attempt to apply a decision support system using quantitative methods to determine project success, a Project Success Predictor Model was proposed to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The Project Success Predictor Model is a software tool that can help predict project success for projects that are in process, about to be started, continued, or terminated. A comprehensive literature review was conducted which identified 12 models that could be considered for further scrutiny in developing the predictor model. Seven predictor variables were identified: Financial, NASA program management, NASA project management, government/external environment, external public environment, technology and public relations. Using a Delphi Inquiry, the Kendall Coefficient of Concordance, and regression analysis, quantitative values could be obtained. The resulting models can be applied to determine a potential success score for NASA projects under consideration.
