Abstract
Project Management Tools and Techniques are key element in project management. Several tools are available to support the different stages of a project life cycle. This report presents a study designed to identify not only the most widely used tools and techniques in Construction & Engineering (C&E) and Information Technology (IT) sector of UK industry, but also the tools and techniques that improve project management performance. The study is based on a questionnaire distributed to a sample of experienced project managers from the C&E and IT industry. The data were analysed in order to show which project management tools and techniques are more frequently applied among those two industries, what their impact of implementing them in project organisation and the extent to which organisations categorize their project in order to apply common tools to each category and consequently succeed in improving organisational performance. The study presents the priorities project management professionals need to identify and select nowadays, for future developments. While selecting priorities for development and implementation, professionals need to address which tools, techniques or processes need to be followed for successful project delivery and further on for improving organisational performance.
