Abstract
IT project management has long been a key area of interest among IS scholars and practitioners, since IT projects constitute a key vehicle for IS development and implementation. A project can be defined as an interrelated set of activities intended to accomplish certain desired objectives within a limited period of time, typically executed by a project team. IT projects involve developing and/or deploying IT artifacts (comprised of either software, hardware, or both). IT project management thus refers to the application of knowledge, skills, techniques, and processes to conduct such projects within agreed-upon parameters (e.g., budget, schedule, scope, quality), and in concert with organizational goals and priorities. The significance of this topic for the IS discipline is evident in the number of publications that have addressed different aspects of project management dating back to 1978 when the first two MIS Quarterly articles on this topic were published. We have identified 39 publications in MIS Quarterly on the topic up to Summer 2020.
