Evaluation of software development success considering the impact of organizational characteristics

Pri razvoju programske opreme prihaja do zamud, neuspehov, zavrnitev in opuščanja projektov, zato se poraja težnja po izboljšanju tega procesa. V strokovni literaturi se modeli ocenjevanja uspešnosti razvoja programske opreme večinoma osredotočajo na tehnične vidike kakovosti, kar za celosten vpogled ne zadostuje. Cilj magistrskega dela je zapolniti vrzel na področju vrednotenja metodologij razvoja programske opreme z modelom, ki pri ocenjevanju uspešnosti vključuje tudi skladnost z organizacijskimi karakteristikami podjetja. Definirali smo ključne organizacijske karakteristike in razvili model, ki celostno ocenjuje uspešnost razvoja. Model smo preizkusili z empirično študijo in na podlagi analize rezultatov potrdili osnovno hipotezo vpliva organizacijskih karakteristik na proces razvoja programske opreme. Ugotovitve in ključne predloge za izboljšavo skladnosti organizacijskih karakteristik in procesa dela smo predstavili vodstvu podjetij, vključenih v študijo, in na podlagi njihovih odzivov potrdili koristnost razvitega modela.In the software development process, there are delays, failures, rejections and abandoned projects, so there is a clear need for the improvement of this process. The models for assessing the success of software development focus primarily on technical aspects of quality, which is not sufficient for comprehensive insight. The goal of the master\u27s thesis is to fill the gap in the field of software development methodologies evaluation with the model that in performance assessment considers also the organizational characteristics of the company. The model was tested with an empirical study resulting in the confirmation of the basic hypothesis regarding the impact of organizational characteristics on the software development process. The findings and key suggestions for improving the fit between organizational characteristics and the work process were presented to the management of the companies involved in the study. Their responses have confirmed the usefulness of the developed model
