Abstract: This article studies the influence of project management (PM) tools and techniques on the success of information systems (IS) projects, addressing a gap in the literature. An international survey of IS professionals was carried out to collect data. The data analysis uses descriptive and inferential statistics, showing that higher success levels are associated with the use of several project management tools and techniques. Of the tools and techniques considered, it was found that about 64% of them influence the overall success of IS projects. On the contrary, nearly 25% do not directly influence any success perspective (scope, time, and cost). The findings contribute to theory and practice by empirically showing that the use of a rich set of PM tools and techniques positively influences IS project success.
