Abstract(s)
Projectization has emerged as a transformative approach to streamline work, bolstering companies’ competitive advantage and enabling the swift and high-quality execution of projects.
However, this transition presents significant challenges in project management, especially when managers are deeply entrenched in a specific approach. To significantly enhance the chances of success, companies must choose the appropriate project management.
This research conducted an in-depth review of the existing literature on project management, resulting in the selection of 45 highly relevant articles from a vast pool of 113 sources. Next, an interview protocol was developed and used in semi-structured interviews with ten experienced project managers. These project managers have experience using different methodologies and across various industries. A comparative analysis between literature and selected practitioners allowed for a comprehensive understanding of project management.
The study's findings underscore the paramount significance of several key factors, namely, project scope, client culture, team culture, project duration and business sector. The first three factors have been discussed in prior literature. The fourth factor has been mentioned in prior work, but it has not been specifically discussed in detail how this factor can be used to guide the selection of the project management approach. The fifth factor is a new criterion proposed based on the results of the data analysis.
This research contributes to science by highlighting which factors are important for project management and identifying a new factor to the literature. This study also contributes to practice by underscoring the vital role of selecting appropriate project management in an ever-evolving business landscape and by proposing the specific factors that must be considered to achieve project success.
