14 July 2017 – Rome, Italy – Access to a new resource has been added to the PM World Library (PMWL) related to the project management profession. The new resource is titled “Current Project Management in the Information Systems and Information Technologies Industries.” Originally published by the Project Management Institute (PMI), this paper is by Francis Hartman and Rafi A. Ashrafl at the University of Calgary in Canada.
In this paper, the authors report findings on current project management practices in the IT/IS industries. The purpose of the study was to find out what practices are important to IS/IT Industries in successfully accomplishing their projects. Do they use proven project management practices? Whatever the IT/IS industries regard as important for the success of their projects, do they measure it? What are the project drivers? Are these three important elements aligned with each other? The authors investigated these questions not only for various phases of a project, but also from the perspective of three major stakeholders. These stakeholders include an owner or sponsor, a major contractor or supplier, and a consultant for the same project.
