Overview: While studies of Information Systems (IS) project management are plentiful, few studies have investigated how the tools and techniques used in project management differ for varying types of organizations. This paper has surveyed members of the Project Management Institute who work as IS project managers in a variety of different organizations both public and private and large and small. Results show that the practices and tools utilized in varying organizations are largely similar even though the literature suggests that these organizations face different challenges. However, projects completed in governmental organizations in the public sector come in behind-schedule more often than those completed in organizations in the private sector. These findings provide insights for project managers in a variety of organizational settings.
