Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This study investigates the intricate relationships between project management (PM) practices and project success, focusing on cross-country and cross-industry variations. Using a contingency approach, the research examines 1,387 projects over three years across Argentina, Brazil, and Chile, spanning ten industries. Key factors such as project complexity, PM training, and organizational support were analyzed through structural equation modeling. The findings highlight the significant role of PM enablers and efforts in improving project schedules, while industry and national contexts reveal nuanced influences on cost, margin, and overall performance. The study provides critical insights into the role of PM maturity and offers recommendations for aligning PM practices with contextual variables to enhance success metrics.
