Abstract

Information technology (IT) projects have many challenges, risks, and difficulties with a high probability of failure. IT projects failure rate appears to linger around 65% for significant projects. A large amount of research investigated IT project failures and listed an enormous number of project failure reasons, despite these IT projects still have considerably high failure cases. This research aims to develop a new framework based on governance strategy purposed to decrease the probability of IT projects' failures and achieve high performance in doing project management activities by tackling the deficiencies of traditional project management methods. This strategy is focusing on governance; the most critical activities in project management such as project scope, project plan, project cost estimation, project risk management, and project integration management. Also, this research provides the application methodology of the practical and technical aspects of governance supported by evaluating the framework's reliability and efficiency through conducting a practical questionnaire.
