摘要：It is our great pleasure to bring you the sixth number of IJISPM - International Journal of Informatio n Systems and Project Management. The mission of the IJISPM is the dissemination of new scientific knowledge on information systems management and project management, encouraging further progress in theory and practice. In this issue, readers will find important contributions on information systems project success, project management office roles, and on business benefits of enterprise information systems. The traditional approach to assess information system (IS) project success is adherence to planning (ATP) – meeting budget, sched ule, and requirements targets. Today, scholars agree that ATP is insufficient to adequately assess IS project success, but an agreed-on set of success criteria is still missing. Many works on this topic are based on theoretical considerations rather than empirical inquiries. In their article "Ladder to success – eliciting project managers' perceptions of IS project success criteria", Oleg Pankratz and Dirk Basten analyze practitioners' subjective perspectives by investigating what criteria IS project managers consider relevant for IS project success assessment. The authors interviewed eleven experienced project managers in Germany, applying Repertory Grid and Laddering to minimize potential biases. The results yield eight success criteria, indicating that criteria like process efficiency and stakeholder satisfaction must be considered in addition to ATP. Scholars can use the findings to apply the identified success criteria in future studies. Practitioners gain insights into the expert perspective on project success and might rethink the way of assessing success in their projects.
