Literature Review of Information System Project Management

                The use of information system project management in the organization is to utilize the software packages that are developed for the monitoring, controlling, and organizing the projects in the organization. The purpose of the present study is identified empirical access to the quality of services, project performance and project management in the organization. The implementation of information system project management improves the effectiveness of the manager and project task by controlling, monitoring, planning, and scheduling of the project. The direct impact of information system contributes to the specifications of the project and the impact of the project on the success of the organization. The present study depends upon the literature survey about information system project management and evaluation of models provided by researchers in the previous researches for the evaluation of information system project management in the success of the organization.

Introduction of Information System Project Management

            Information system project management usually requires organizations to use a software system of the packet that is meant and developed improve the decision-making process (Forbes, 2000). The project management information system is required by the organization for the controlling of projects, planning of the project, and organizing the project. The actual contribution of information system project development is still unknown (Raymond & Bergeron, 2007).  In the current era of technology and information communication system, a number of studies are conducted to evaluate the process of transferring information, processing process, and Collection of data (McManus & Wood-Harper, 2003). The planning and control process in the organization is not different from each other and required specific programs to be conducted (Raymond & Bergeron, 2007).

            The complete analysis information leads to emerging of Management and information and unable to continue the activities without having any disturbance. In the case of incomplete information, the planning and decision-making process is different and complex (Olson, 2014). Management most often faces issues about organizing, information system, controlling process, planning, and decision-making process (Wang, 2012). The gap between the information system and organization structure is filled by information system project management (Babaei & Beikzad, 2013; Oprea, et al., 2014).

            The purpose of the present is to contribute to the empirical analysis of quality of system development in organizations and how it induces impact on the project management and project performance in the organization. The dependent factor for the crisis faced by the organization and problems of an information system are also analyzed in the present project.

Literature review of Information System Project Management

            The use of an information system in project management has obtained Paramount importance in the Project Management process. In a previous research, (Raymond & Bergeron, 2007) conducted analysis for the use of information technology in the organization for the project management process and they concluded that 75% of large Information Technology system received higher success and on the contrary 75% of the projects without any use of Information Technology failed miserably (Raymond & Bergeron, 2007). The use of information system project management is sufficient and really required for the success of the project. The efficient and effective management of the project supports the decision taken by management. The research analyst and proposed the powerful project management software that can be developed for the organization and can be diffused in all type of organizations for having a contribution in the project management (Raymond & Bergeron, 2007). The individual use and effective use of information system project management induce impact on the success of the project, budgeting process, scheduling of the whole process, and specification of the system characteristics that contribute to the success of the project (Oprea, et al., 2014). According to the authors, the purpose of the study was to analyze the quality of project management information system in the organization and to examine the impact of information system project management on the performance of project and management of project (Raymond & Bergeron, 2007).

            Initially, the basic function of information system project management was Defined by Cleland and King. According to the model the essential information about the schedule, performance parameter, interrelationship between the parameters, and cost-effectiveness of the project was considered (Hallows, 2005). The fundamental role and nature of information system project management within the project management system was characterized after having an implementation of project strategies (Raymond & Bergeron, 2007; LUCKY, et al., 2014). The research evaluated practical importance and theoretical processes of the project management system and how it induces impact on the system.  The empirical study determined limitation on the description of demographic issues regarding the project management software (Santos, 2018). They analyzed specific applications of software and system modulus in project management tasks such as managing skills, scaling process, planning, reporting and communicating, estimation of cost, and management of documentation (Oprea, et al., 2014). The project management software has a number of advantages and at the same time, its faces drawbacks and limitations both on the practical and theoretical processes. The project management software is unable to import the knowledge of a specific field and answering the questions about the factors a project performance and project management process (Babaei & Beikzad, 2013).

            Delone and Mclean’s were able to devise the updated version of IAS success model. Davis et al. are constructed a model that has a focus on the chronological factors for the convergence and cross-influences over quality and quantity of work (Cadle & Yeates, 2008). The effectiveness of the model was also analyzed for the technology acceptance model and IS based conceptualization (Raymond & Bergeron, 2007). The objective of the research was to analyze and improve project management software and models for the contribution of successful projects for organizations and individual levels (LUCKY, et al., 2014). The research is based upon questions: what are the prime determinants for the success of information system project management? How the efficiency productivity and effectiveness of project management can be improved by information system project management? and finally what are the contributions of information system project management in the success of the project? The model provided for the project management was consists of 5 constructs including the quality of information output, use of information system project management an impact on the individual user and success of the project (Oprea, et al., 2014). The functionality of information system project management can be further divided into five categories including planning of function tool, preparing of the overall project plan, work breakdown structure, overalls casual estimation, resource analysis, CPM, pert and Gantt (Raymond & Bergeron, 2007).

        (Babaei & Beikzad, 2013) analyzed increase growth of information technology in the management information system. The research was the review of problems, challenges, issues, failure, unsuccess of information system project management in the private sector organization. The study explained behavioral analysis for the classification of the management information system, dimensions, and benefits of adequate information for the decision-making process (Raymond & Bergeron, 2007). According to the author, the incomplete information disturbs the process of planning, controlling and decision-making process for the effective practices of information system in the organization. The research identified the dynamic gap between the organizational structures and fixed information system (Oprea, et al., 2014). The change in organizational structure request management access to flexible information, mechanism and system of management information, and Management of the provided information. The focus of the main system was to govern the management information system in the management of the transaction processing system (Raymond & Bergeron, 2007). The management information system can be integrated in different elements including an integrated system that provides services for many users, computer system required to develop link between information system through the database, user machine interface that responds to the immediate and Temporary researches, supporting the operation in decision making process, and presentation of all the information in the management level (Santos, 2018). The research identified Computer Based system and capability of analyzing the data in an organization. The management in the organization uses management information system as a tool to define all the problems that are faced by the managers to find the solutions (Oprea, et al., 2014).

Evaluation of literature of Information System Project Management

            The descriptive result of the analysis defines the multivariable relationship between structural equation Modelling and research modeling. The parallel least square method was used to have a comparison in EQS and LISREL. The model first to the reliability and significance of path Coefficient is measured for the dependent construction of variance. The reliability factor was measured along with the internal consistency of measurement (Raymond & Bergeron, 2007). The unit dimensional criteria were verified. The prime objective of the study was to investigate the direct and indirect effects of information system project management on the success of the project. Three dimensions were considered including technical (information system project management quality and quality of information), organizational (impact of information system project management on the success of the project), and managerial (the use of information system project management and impact on the project management) (Oprea, et al., 2014). The influence was measured, payment integration of system had an important role in the quality of outcomes and flexibility of the information system. The research identified the strong and direct relation of information with the success of the project. At the managerial level, the quality of Information and influence of the project success was analyzed (LUCKY, et al., 2014). The higher quality of the system requires extensive and intensive planning, reporting activities, monitoring and control, and complete planning of the information system.  However, their research has limitations. Firstly, the random nature of samples reduces the generalization of results (Cadle & Yeates, 2004). Secondly, the electronic questionnaires used in the research induces limitation on the variables and number of questions because the questionnaire is self-administered (Santos, 2018). The brightness was reduced by having a separate section for the quality of information system project management, the impact of information system project management on the success of the project, quality and use of information (Oprea, et al., 2014). Thirdly in order to reduce the biases in the results, the additional objective based on perceptual measurement for the project success was considered. The study included a cross-sectional consideration for the causality and longitudinal analysis (Oprea, et al., 2014; Raymond & Bergeron, 2007).

            The research considered the management activities and information of system for solving the problems. The benefits of information system project management associated with better services. The implementation of information system project management improves the process of solving the problems with higher efficiency and higher accuracy and it helps the organization in the identification and solving the problems (Raymond & Bergeron, 2007). The benefits of the information system project management are higher for the managers. The major drawback of information system project management identified by the researchers is that it cannot meet the special demands (Raymond & Bergeron, 2007). Very often it provides all the major and exact information. The existing barriers to the information system project management in an organization can be divided into environmental factors, organizational factors, and humanistic factors (Santos, 2018). In the case of humanistic factors, the lack of information of managers about the use of software’s and information system result in the failure of meeting the requirements. In the case of the organizational sector, the lack of education in the specialized courses and evaluation of existing powers results in the incomplete implementation of information system project management (Olson, 2003). The environmental factor includes a lack of evaluation of environmental conditions for the implementation of information system project management in the organization (Raymond & Bergeron, 2007; Santos, 2018).

Conclusion of Information System Project Management

        The aim of the present study was to determine the actual impact of Information Technology on the project management process in an organization. The implementation of information system project management defines the main determinants and success of the project in terms of efficiency, productivity, and increase reliability.   The objective of the present work was to evaluate the success model of information system project management and how it faces challenges in the empowerment of managerial tasks, planning, spelling, control, and monitoring of the system. The performance of the organization improved by the implementation of Information Technology and has a significant contribution to the success of the project. The models of previous researchers were also evaluated for the use of information system in the organizations.
