Abstract
The ability of project implementation is considered an important part of corporate reality. The current situation shows that project management is used not only in technology-oriented companies but has also found its place in other areas, mainly because of the effective implementation of the necessary corporate innovations. This article intends to analyze the use of project tools in various types of companies, including public institutions in the Slovak Republic. For the verification of the use of these tools, a random selection of 154 companies implementing projects in the Slovak Republic was used. In the research, we performed a cluster analysis and multivariate regression analysis. The results show the differential use of individual instruments not only in terms of the size of companies but also in terms of realized types of projects. The most important project management procedures are related to team communication, but also to clients and external experts. The results also show that the effective use of tools, especially in the project implementation phase and completion, significantly improves the success of projects.

Project management is undoubtedly one of the main topics within most organizations. It is increasingly used in various fields of business, and in a variety of subjects from start-ups and small businesses to multinational corporations.

The use of project tools is gradually improving (KPMG, 2017, PMI, 2018), there is still a clear gap and disproportion between use across sectors
