Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:This paper aims to enhance our understanding of project management (PM) in collaborative Research & Development & Innovation (R&D&I) projects by analysing the fit between the use and usefulness of 35 PM practices. Research results include quantitative data analysis of 465 responses to an online survey questionnaire, complemented by a qualitative data analysis of 12 semi-structured interviews. The study identifies the top-10 ‘most used’ and ‘most useful’ PM practices in collaborative R&D&I, covering the complete PM lifecycle while emphasising the importance of the project ‘Initiation' phase. Furthermore, it identifies a set of ‘must have’ PM practices that exhibit a perfect fit, suggesting that consistent implementation impacts successful project outcomes. The remaining 26 PM practices surveyed present a ‘use misfit’, meaning they are deemed useful but are not frequently used. The paper delves into the causes behind this and explores potential strategies to address it, with leadership emerging as a significant strategy to overcome practice misfits.
