Mini-Track Description: Effective Project Managers in a Digital World

The Project Management Institute (PMI) predicts a significant increase in
the number of jobs requiring project management skills, and the demand for
project managers (PMs) will outstrip the demand for other professions over
the next decade. Project Management is increasingly important and effective
PMs are in high demand and short supply. This is particularly true with the
widespread adoption and implementation of various systems including
Enterprise systems in organizations and therefore there is a need for more
effective PMs to lead challenging projects to success. This track explores
the PM and their impact on projects. Research papers related to PMs from
all perspectives and methodologies are welcome. Topics may include:

   - PM influence on project success
   - PM leadership in the project team and the C-suite
   - PM management of distributed or virtual teams
   - PM training paths and knowledge
   - Knowledge sharing among PMs
   - Theorization about PMs
   - PM soft and technical skills
   - PM decisions on project methodologies
   - PM motivation on “death march” projects
   - Challenges facing PMs
   - PM characteristics for unique project success
