Abstract

A field study was performed to identify prescriptions for the sustained recovery of troubled information systems development (ISD) projects. The purpose of the study is to identify prescriptive actions that organizations can take to begin to recover troubled projects. Based on a framework for recovery proposed in prior research, this study focuses on one stage of the recovery process, i.e., the “Sustained Recovery” stage. The study is significant for business managers and ISD project managers dealing with the project management process as well as to IS researchers attempting to better understand the ISD process. The output of this effort, to date, is a set of suggested prescriptive actions that project managers, teams, and other stakeholders should consider once a project has been identified as being “in trouble.”
