Nowadays using Information Technology to overcome rapid environmental changes and adopting flexibility is necessary and inevitable. Yet, implementation ofIT projects in many cases is subject to failure. This research seeks to identify vital elements/factors of success and failure of IT projects in Iran and defining techniques to decrease the rate of failure. These elements/factors have been assessed under two general classifications: infrastructural including technical, human, economic, cultural, and management! administrative factors, and superficial, including size of the organization and the project, To identifying infrastructural factors, expert survey questionnaires has been applied. Results show that administrative/ management-strategic factors, and cultural - social are more important than financial - economic and technological - human factors. And most important of all is the absence of sufficient commitment on the side of senior managers of the organizations and unfamiliarity of people and authorities with the structure and performance 0 f IT. Superficial factors have been analyzed dynamically in two dimensions: size of the organization and the project. The results of the descriptive analysis shows that the larger the organization and the project, the higher the risk of failure.By the end, the conceptual model of the vital elements of success and failure of IT projects has been presented as well as suggestions for successful execution of such projects and future research in this field.

Modern and new technologies have changed the management view and the methods of problem solving and management of organizations. For effectively managing the organizations at todays changing environment managers should view different global economic, social, political and legal conditions and must pay attention to factors such as developing deformation and communication technologies and changing customers expectations. For with respect to each condition and factor they needs appropriate information to increase their knowledge and decrease their uncertainty to have effective performance. In this way it seems necessary to consider information technologies and total quality management and understand their impact on efficiency and effectiveness.
In this article through citing the relationships between information technology and total quality management we attempt to examine their impact on organizations efficiency and effectiveness. Therefore we study the concepts of effectiveness efficiency and productivity and then point to the relationships between information technology and total quality management and to the impact of these relationships on organizations efficiency and effectiveness. Because, today managers' attitudes and views to quality in firms is new. Production with desired quality requires not only clear definition of goals, specific policies and procedures for each part of work and each stage of process but also real time inspection, measurement and documentation systems.
