Aim/purpose – The study aims to investigate the relationship among the leadership, operational efficiency and project success in general and the impact of transformational leadership and operational efficiency on project success in particular. Design/methodology/approach – Mean comparison from descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression from inferential statistics was used to determine the association between variables and further impact of the transformational leadership and operational efficiency on project success in the development sector. The paper presents the results of a survey conducted among 200 employees from the top, middle & lower management levels of various national & international development organizations working in Pakistan like Microfinance Banks and other Rural Support Programs. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to process data. Findings – The result shows positive association among transformational leadership, operational efficiency and project success. In addition, it was found that transformational leadership and operational efficiency have a positive and statistically significant impact on the project success. It is concluded that both transformational leadership and operational efficiency are vital to achieving the optimum level of success in any project, especially in the development sector. Research implications/limitations – The integral limitation of the study was the respondents because most of the development organizations have their operations in rural areas where access was difficult because of limited time and resources. In addition, such organizations are always reluctant to provide survey feedback. Originality/value/contribution – The paper contribution is in the theoretical and practical knowledge of the project success factors in the development sector which is still a somehow unexplored area. Regulators of the development sector may be benefited from this study.

The paper reviews the state of art in project success evaluation, especially with respect to R&D projects, with emphasis on the ambiguity of such evaluation, its strong dependence on the con-text and on the evaluator. We also recall basic information about fuzzy numbers and propose the concept of fuzzy rules which are used in the suggested procedure of R&D project evaluation. The procedure is described and illustrated by means of a real- -world case study.

W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badań projektów IT. Celem przeprowadzonej analizy było zbadanie, jakie atrybuty charakteryzujące projekt oraz jakie elementy procesu zarządzania projektem mają wpływ na dotrzymanie planowanego terminu jego realizacji. W badaniach zastosowano aparat statystyki matematycznej (ANOVA). Skonstruowano logitowy model regresji opisujący wpływ analizowanych czynników na prawdopodobieństwo ukończenia projektu w terminie. Badaniami objęto projekty IT realizowane w Polsce.

The article presents the results of investigation of IT projects. The aim of the analysis was to indicate what attributes characterize the project and what elements of the project management process have an impact on keeping the planned project deadline. The statistical analysis (ANOVA) was performed. Logit regression model was constructed. The model describes influence of analysed factors on the probability of completing the project on time. The study involved IT projects implemented in Poland.

The present paper considers the problem of the success of a research project evaluated by its outputs (which can be seen as the project’s success measures) related to its inputs (constituting the project’s success factors). Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) models are used. The inputs and outputs are selected on the basis of a review of the literature. Two models are applied to a set of research projects implemented in Poland. Advantages and disadvantages of the approach are shown. In particular, the selection of inputs, outputs and their weights needs to be researched further. But the models used in the paper, in spite of their imperfection and lack of generality, considerably help to assess and compare the projects. Therefore, DEA is an important tool for the evaluation of R&D activities.

Celem pracy jest pokazanie uwarunkowań, przebiegu oraz rezultatów transformacji przedsiębiorstwa wynikającej z wprowadzenia nowej metodyki zarządzania projektami. W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badań własnych w postaci studium przypadku przedsiębiorstwa sektora teleinformatyki wprowadzającego nową zwinną metodykę zarządzania projektami. Jak wykazano w badaniach, zmiana metodyki zarządzania projektami może prowadzić zarówno do zwiększenia szans na sukces dużych i złożonych projektów informatycznych oraz teleinformatycznych, jak i do transformacji całej organizacji, rozumianej jako szereg gruntownych zmian w obszarach technologicznym, metodycznym, procesowym, strategicznym, organizacyjnym i kulturowym, zorientowanych na zwiększenie przewagi konkurencyjnej.

The paper is focused on conditions, process and results of the organizational transformation due to the introduction of new project management methodology. After literature review, the case study of the ICT company implementing new agile project management methodology is presented. As the results show, the change of the project management methodology might affect the project success in large and complex IT and ICT projects. Moreover, it might lead to the organizational transformation in technology, methodology, processes, strategy, organization and organizational culture extending competitive advantage of the organization.
