The findings of the study reveal that lack of clarity of goals, low teamwork quality, ineffective project management, no reward and recognition system in place and insufficient resources are the core factors for the failure of web-based application of IT projects. The significance of this research lies in the fact that its results will add new knowledge in the project management field by identifying the relative importance of the factors that have an impact on web-based application of IT project failure.
