Abstract
Critical success factors have a direct impact on an organization’s project
management and contract management processes as well as resulting
outcomes. This paper presents the results of survey-based research on
contract management critical success factors, derived from the responses
of approximately 400 contracting officers who represent 7 Department of
Defense (DoD) agencies. The principal contributions of this paper are to
show the similarities in both project management and contract
management critical success factors and the implications for the DoD.
The overall conclusion is that focusing on these critical success factors
can improve the DoD’s management of both projects as well as contracts.
The recommendation is that the DoD should focus on the common
knowledge areas and processes impacting project management and
contract management by addressing the identified critical success factors
in the areas of individual competencies and organizational structures and
processes.
