Traditional Likert-scale measures often overlook the context-dependent and multifaceted nature of project success. The proposed hierarchical Type-1 Mamdani fuzzy system prioritizes sustained positive impact for end-users, reducing emphasis on secondary outcomes like stakeholder satisfaction and internal project success. This dynamic approach may provide a more accurate measure of project success and could be adaptable to complex evaluations. Future research will focus on empirical testing and broader applications of fuzzy logic in social science.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2507.12653v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2507.12653v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"a-fuzzy-approach-to-project-success-measuring","repo_url":"https://github.com/joaojcorreia/FuzzyLogic_ProjectSuccess","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[{"method_slug":"focus","method_name":"Focus"}],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
