Analysis of the research propositions

PropositionConfirmation of the propositionHighlights
P1) The commitment of senior management/sponsor contributes to the project’s successYesCollaborates with the resolution of problems, definitions and themes related to the project’s costs in a consumption model
P2) The organizational environment contributes to the project’s successYesHighlights for freedom to err, collaboration and positive environment
P3) The team’s organizational environment contributes to the project’s successYesWillingness to learn, freedom of expression, collaboration and multidisciplinary
P4) The team’s capacity contributes to the project’s successYesCloud has non-traditional solutions; adaptation and flexibility help the cloud model adhere
P5) Customer engagement contributes to the project’s successYesMinimizes project risks; needs to participate in decisions and prioritizations; customer satisfaction is achieved faster, which can improve this relationship with the customer
P6) The team’s technical knowledge is a differential to the project’s successYesIt is critical in cloud; knowledge needs to be acquired; difficult to have cloud teams formed; technical knowledge helps to make good decisions
P7) The PM’s knowledge in managing conflicts of interest contributes to the project’s successYesIt mediates the issue of costs and deadlines and communicates between areas involved in the project
P8) Process management contributes to the project’s successYesAbsence of processes for the cloud model; different processes for cloud and on-premise that have diverse ways of deploying solutions
P9) The delivery strategy contributes to the project’s successNot necessarilyMaking partial deliveries is possible because today there are more modern software engineering tools that manage partial deploys that can be automated by DEVOPS
P10) Agile software techniques contribute to the project’s successNot necessarilyPM’s techniques can collaborate with the success of cloud projects, especially agile techniques
P11) The nature of the project contributes to the project’s successNot necessarilyNature depends on organizational strategy and contract
P12) The type of project contributes to the project’s successNot necessarilyThe type of project is linked to the drive (prioritization, time, visibility) that the project will have within the company
P13) The project schedule contributes to the project’s successNot necessarilyControls and directs the project, manages expectations, but needs constant review and may not adapt to the reality of the project
P14) The items negotiated in the contract between customer and provider (agreed service level, access restriction, cost, prioritization of services) contribute to the project’s successYes.Govern how cloud services will be made available and consumed; need to be reviewed so as not to interfere with the project’s progress
P15) The knowledge of the PM in contract management contributes to the project’s successNot necessarilyIt helps to understand the deadlines and constraints that can influence the project’s progress; several organizations have a specific area that assists the PM with contractual ones
P16) Proper risk management contributes to the project’s successYesMinimizes project risks, whether because of ignorance of the cloud or anticipation of problems that differ from the on-premise model
P17) Proper change management contributes to the project’s successYesTeams have the autonomy to manage change; rigid change processes hinder the agility of deliveries made possible by the cloud
P18) Effective communication contributes to the project’s successYesCommunication is used to talk about both deliveries and difficulties; it is important to talk about costs because this variable changes in the cloud model
