Call for Papers: Special Issue of the Scandinavian Journal of
Information Systems (SJIS) on IT Project Management

Sponsored by the Association for Information Systems Special Interest
Group on IT Project Management (SIGITProjMgmt)

Information technology project management research has evolved from
engineering disciplines.  Certain aspects of managing information
technology projects present challenges that are different from other
types of projects undertaken by an organization.  Furthermore, given
the large expense taken by organizations to implement both hardware
and software within the firm, organizations want better techniques and
knowledge about how to manage these projects.  This special issue
solicits research in IT project management that focuses on problems
that cover a large range of topics that cut across many IT areas.

Themes that could be explored, but are not restricted to, include:
•	virtual project management
•	agile project management
•	knowledge networks
•	project management methodologies
•	distributed project management
•	project leadership
•	project quality metrics
•	project management standards
•	best practices in project management
•	 project success
