ABSTRACT
This chapter looks at the constructs and hypothesis testing and discusses the findings of the research by connecting the prestudy with the main study to provide an overarching analysis and discussion. The hypotheses were tested by using exploratory factor analysis using principle component analysis on the project management methodology (PMM), governance, and success variables to identify the underlying structures and reduce the number of variables to a manageable size while retaining as much of the original information as possible. PMMs should be seen as a dynamic set of elements consisting of processes, tools, techniques, methods, knowledge areas, and capability profiles that have been specifically selected for an organization’s needs. The environmental factors impacting the effectiveness of a PMM in supporting project success include project governance, a sponsor’s understanding of the need for a PMM, political senior decision makers, culture, and pressure to reduce costs.
