The TOC PM was introduced in the late 1970’s and later adopted into project management as a methodology in 1997 (Goldratt & Cox, 2004; Leach, 2005). The TOC PM is viewed as a method that
stakeholder input to the cost estimating process in project management is a common problem throughout the stakeholder theory literature that focuses on the management of large engineering projects, such as space and software projects (Lucae, Rebentisch, & Oehmen, 2014); and. This problem has been linked to the multiple definitions for the term stakeholder (Susser, 2012; Doh & Quigley, 2014; Davis, 2014). The literature shows that space projects in the United States exceed original cost estimates
Figure 4. seven aspects in orgnaisational change management 4.5.1 Establishing a clear plan IT projects which have a clear definition for the process, such as planning, implementation and monitoring, are more likely to achieve project success (Goatham, 2009; Queensland Government, 2014), and this is called ‘process improvement’ (Goatham, 2009).

every construction project regardless of the project size or its scope. Tummala et al. (1999) has argued that oftentimes changes in design and scope in addition to time frames or schedules are considered the most common risks for the construction sector based on the study conducted. As the construction project progresses there 's bound to be changes in scope or design which are implemented causing the need for more resources, time and cost. Baker, et al. (1999) notes that if a project is completed ahead

Waterfall Software Development Software development is the process of developing software through successive phases (Leau, Loo, Tham, & Tun, 2012). This software development process includes the preparation of requirements and objectives, computer programming, and testing involved in developing and maintaining software applications (Leau et al., 2012). According to Stoica, Mircea, and Ghillic-Micu (2013, p. 64), “Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is an environment that describes activities
