Group projects play an important role in information systems development. Due to various reasons, successful completion of complex group projects depends on effective collaboration among group members. Despite the continuous improvement in methods and techniques for group projects in the past decade, collaboration among members of groups is often impaired, resulting in group or individual problems and diminished overall performance. This paper presents the findings of a study on group collaboration among project team members working in information systems projects. The study includes a review of literature and a survey of members of IS group projects conducted at St. Cloud State University during the period of 1993-1994. The paper concludes with discussions of success factors.
