Abstract

This study aims to explore the critical driving and resisting forces that promote or inhibit the implementation and use of project management PM software in Qatari Government Organizations in an attempt to determine whether software-based PM methodologies are being effectively implemented in the public sector organizations or not. Research hypotheses were evaluated using ANOVA and Mann-Whitney test. Findings indicated that forces that promote or inhibit software based PM implementation are significantly affected by the managerial interest and nature of existing traditional or contemporary PM practices. More importantly our findings identified some driving forces that promote the implementation of software-based PM methodology SPMM in Qatari government organizations and also identified some roadblocks that prohibit such implementations. Finally managerial implications for the successful implementation of SPMM are provided and avenues for further research are suggested.
