Call for Papers

Having grown since its inception as a discipline focused on scheduling and resource data for senior management, project management today considers the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to project activities with the goal of meeting project requirements. This track considers all aspects of project management required, regardless of industry or discipline. Encouraging research that offers practical and relevant experience for project success, we welcome submissions that offer information useful to the practice of project management and/or assessments of the state of the art in project management.

We would like to bring together academic researchers and practitioners to exchange ideas and experiences, initiate opportunities for future cooperation and/or to strengthen existing collaborations. We are particularly interested in papers that address the following issues: (however papers addressing other research and application areas are also invited):

	Essential skills for project management in business information systems
	Challenges for project management in a virtual teams environment
	The relationship between project managers skills and project success
	Risk factors associated with BIS application implementations
	Experience with available tools and techniques for scope, time, cost, or quality management
	Applications of project scope, time, cost, or quality management to business information systems
	Impact of project management practices on the capability maturity model
	Specific project management knowledge, skills, and behaviors that represent success factors for business information systems projects
	Impact of scope creep on business information systems implementations
	The effect of requirements and expectations on BIS project success/failure
	Project portfolio management

Please direct all questions regarding content to the organizers below. All submissions should go through the standard conference submission process.
