Abstract
Project planning is considered to be a
critical success factor for project success. However,
recent literature questions whether planning has
similar importance in various project contexts. This
research investigates the effectiveness of project
planning on project success in various project risk
contexts of software development projects. A survey
based research design was used to collect data to test
the proposed model. The results reveal that various
inherent project risks moderate the effects of project
planning on project success and in different ways for
various success measures. More specifically, the results
indicate that project planning makes a greater
contribution to project success when there is a low level
of inherent project risk and its positive impact on
project success diminishes when there is a high level of
inherent project risk. The results of this study
contribute to a more acute understanding of the
contingency approach to software project risk
management. Practical implications of these results
suggest that project managers should put more
emphasis on less detailed formal planning in high risk
project situations in order to meet project success.
