According to IIA guidance on IT project success, successful IT projects focus on delivering critical, high-value features that support business objectives rather than overloading with unnecessary features.

Let’s analyze each option:

A. Streamlined decision-making, rather than building consensus among users.

Incorrect. While efficient decision-making is important, user consensus is crucial to IT project success, as user adoption affects the outcome. Ignoring user feedback can lead to project failure.

B. Consideration of the facts, rather than consideration of the emotions displayed by project stakeholders.

Incorrect. Stakeholder emotions and concerns must be managed properly. Ignoring stakeholder engagement can lead to resistance and project failure.

C. Focus on flexibility and adaptability, rather than use of a formal methodology.

Incorrect. IT projects must follow structured methodologies (Agile, Waterfall, etc.). A lack of formal methodology increases project risks.

D. Inclusion of critical features, rather than inclusion of an array of supplementary features. ✅ (Correct Answer)

Correct. IT projects should focus on delivering core, high-impact features that align with business needs. Adding too many non-essential features increases costs, complexity, and delays.
