Abstract: Project management plays an important role in the sustainable growth of technology-based firms. However, the fundamental relationship between the project management factors and sustainable growth of the firms has not been fully discovered. This exploratory research identifies the critical project management factors that contributing to sustainable growth of technology-based organisations. Based on literature review and demo interviews, a two-level evaluation structure is developed for further structured interview survey. Over 60 experts working in technology-based organisations are invited to the structured interview. A project management framework for organisational sustainable growth was extracted from three dimensions: personal, team and organisational levels. Furthermore, the practical implementation of these identified factors is measured by satisfaction through interview survey. The research provided researchers and practitioners of technology-based firms with an understanding of the contribution of key project management factors to organisational sustainable growth.
