Article Citation - Scopus: 6What Do Software Practitioners Really Think About Software Process Improvement Project Success? an Exploratory Study(Springer Verlag, 2018) Niazi,M.; Mishra,A.; Gill,A.Q.Software practitioners have always shown a significant interest in implementing software process improvement (SPI) initiatives to ensure the delivery of quality products. Software industry and SPI methodologies have evolved over a period of time; however, still many SPI initiatives have not been successful. There is a need to understand software practitioners’ perspectives on SPI success which can be helpful for tailoring or improving effective situation-specific SPI methodologies. This research presents an exploratory study of Turkish software development organizations. The main research question is: What software practitioners’ really think about SPI project success. This study was conducted with 27 Turkish software development organizations to identity and analyse important SPI factors that contribute to the success of SPI projects. The results reveal that professional growth, increased professional recognition, project planning, monitoring of project risks, providing technical support, adoption of current technologies, strong leadership and commitment are among the highest ranked factors that contribute towards the success of SPI initiatives. The findings of this research provide a foundation for further work in tailoring and improving situation-specific SPI methodologies for software project environments. © 2018, King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals.Review Citation - Scopus: 31E-Government - Exploring the Different Dimensions of Challenges, Implementation, and Success Factors(2011) Mishra,A.; Mishra,D.This paper explores the different dimensions of egovernment significant issues - Challenges, Implementation, and Success Factors. The main objective is to highlight the current research and practice direction in these important areas of egovernment. The results were limited to peerreviewed conference papers and journal articles, published from 2001 up to and including early 2011. The analysis revealed that most research has been done in formulating challenges and barriers, implementation plan, evaluation/assessment and success factors of e-government while studies on knowledge management in e-government, readiness for e-government, e-Gov. process and security/privacy issues could get only limited attention. This indicates the need for future research (quantitative and qualitative) in these areas. Further it also reports a summary of the research in these egovernment areas.
