Abstract

The main purpose of this research paper was to bridge the existing knowledge gap in the empirical identification and understanding of how the role of conflict can determine the success of a project within private sector IT projects. Conflict has become an increasingly endemic feature within the last few years, and this research project provides a contribution in knowledge terms which will help to overcome the obstacles and challenges impeding growth and development in the field. This was achieved by conducting an investigation to provide the most important criteria, sub criteria and alternatives in IT project conflict management. The scope will focus on selected private sector while the target population is the IT Project Managers from private sector who has experience in the IT field for more than 5 years. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was chosen as it possible to include intangibles in decision making. The Super Decisions (decision support software) is used to calculate the data using AHP method. The data collected thru questionnaire was firstly tabulated in Microsoft Excel and the geometric mean for each pair wise comparison was calculated. Then the compiled data was entered in Super Decision software to do further analysis. Through this research, we researched to what extent each of criteria, sub criteria and alternatives of conflict can influence the IT Project Performance.
