Abstract

In today‟s competitive life, Information Technology (IT) is vital and is finding its way to a wide range of business domains. Their efficiency is used for simplification of processes, further deep integration bares impact when they either „fail‟ or „succeed‟. Despite the intricacy and scope that many IT programs provide, there are still some projects that are destined to failure, from the offset, or within the development cycle. The aim of this paper is to identify the factors that affect the practical implementation of software project management (SPM) in certain selected software companies. A research study is performed to evaluate the data collected through a well structured questionnaire and analysis is made using statistical tool „cumulated weighted average‟ (CWA). The findings reveal that the software companies have endurable capability and maturity in general for implementing software project management process. In specific there are eight factors identified which can encumber implementation quiet critically. These factors require attention to prioritize them, in order to enhance its practice as the research indicates.
