A Glance into Holistic Project Success with Organisational Agility and Project Resilience

Abstract

This article delves into the intricate dynamics between organisational agility, project resilience, and project success, casting a new light on the evaluation of project success beyond traditional constraint-based assessments. Through a systematic narrative review, it addresses the critical literature gap by proposing an integrated theoretical framework that encompasses these key constructs. By transcending conventional metrics, the study emphasises a holistic approach to understanding project success, grounded in both classical organisational and complexity theory. This comprehensive framework elucidates the mechanisms through which organisational agility and project resilience directly contribute to project success, advocating for a strategic reorientation towards value creation and adaptability in project management. This exploration seeks to enrich the theoretical foundations of project management and stimulate further empirical research, thereby offering novel insights and practical guidelines for managing projects in the volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) environments of today.
