| dc.description.abstract | This study assessed the main factors that contributed to the design and implementation delays in the AM & BF PLC project to develop a student information system. The census method was used to distribute questionnaires to respondents because the population was manageable and small overall. On a Likert scale, the respondents were asked to rank the delay factors according to the severity of their impact. In order to categorize respondents, the questionnaire also asks about the respondent's experiences and other additional demographic details. The analysis of these data revealed that four of the six major causes were customer-related, which included changes in customer requirements, late or incomplete customer feedback, and customers requesting extra features; testing-related, which included a lack of testing resources and a delay in test environment delivery; deployment-related, which included a lack of deployment planning, a delay in the discovery of defects, and a lack of documentation; and constraints-related, which included a lack of testing resources and a delay in test environment delivery. To address the main delay factors, it is recommended to prioritize clear communication with customers, plan deployments thoroughly, allocate resources adequately, and ensure well-documented testing procedures, implementing this will help to shorten delays on comparable projects, and future researchers may examine the problem from a broader point of view | |
