Abstract

Organizations are continually been involved in projects as a competitive tactic to ensure that they remain relevant in their respective fields. To ensure the success of these projects organizations are investing in Project Management Information Systems (PMIS) to assist project managers and the project team in the management and undertaking of the project activities. This research seeks to find the contribution of these information systems towards project success. The quality of the software, the quality of information output, the influence of the PMIS user on the project success was tested. Purposive sampling was used and data measured on a likert scale. The research found out that the use of the software to generate quality information needed by the user (project manager) to perform project tasks helped the project managers perform their tasks in a more professional manner thus increasing the success rate of the project. The three independent variables (quality of software, quality of information output and influence of the user) were transformed to get a single variable PMIS which had a strong and positive correlation (0.954) with the dependent variable (project success). It was therefore concluded that the use of PMIS helped in the achievement of the project success while respecting the projects constraints and meeting the project objectives.

Conclusion and recommendations

The software must provide reliable and accurate information that will enable the project team to perform their tasks efficiently and effectively. It is not the complexity of the software that matters but the quality of the information generated by the system and the ability of the user to use the information to manage the project. This information helps the users/ project managers to perform their tasks in a much professional manner. When tasks are best performed project success is achieved.

It is recommended that organizations should adopt the use of PMIS in the management of their projects. PMIS guarantees better management of project since it generates quality information needed for the management of the project.
