Project Management Learning: What the Literature Has to Say

Abstract

This paper describes the methodology and results of research designed to extract useful professional project management information from recent research literature in the information systems and information technology (IS/IT) fields. The resulting database of 784 journal, thesis, and conference proceedings abstracts represents research from 1999 through 2001 in the IS/IT field related to project management. A lessons learned executive seminar was conducted to allow experienced, active project managers to examine selected findings for lessons learned and research opportunities that might benefit project managers.
