TL;DR: In this article, a model on the antecedents and consequences of project management competence retention (PMCR) was developed, which revealed that providing project managers formal developmental perspectives in project management, such as a career path or qualification opportunities, as well as establishing a formal lesson learned system both positively relate to PMCR.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a series of assessments of practitioners' project management knowledge and use of project management practices across countries, industry sectors, and application areas, and interpreted in relation to the ongoing development of standards for project management.
Abstract: Project management knowledge and practice are often considered to be generic and suitable for standardization. However, projects are also viewed as fundamentally unique pieces of work. This paradox of project uniqueness lies at the heart of project management. This paper discusses this tension between uniqueness and similarity, before reporting on the results of a series of assessments of practitioners’ project management knowledge and use of project management practices. Results are analyzed across countries, industry sectors, and application areas, and interpreted in relation to the ongoing development of standards for project management.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on managerial challenges related to the complexity and multitude of entry into and withdrawal from projects on the basis of a single case study, and advocate the appointment of a formal mentor to assist new team members in becoming acquainted with the project.

TL;DR: A UK‐based, grounded study of two project‐based industries of differing maturity levels is carried out to investigate measures of project failure or success across the two industries and presents a reassessment of project measurement criteria.
Abstract: – Failure is encountered regularly within project‐based industries and there has been research for decades into this phenomenon. Much of it has considered the failure of projects in terms of the classic project progress issues such as time, cost and quality. Using cases from two major industries the authors aim to develop a different understanding of project measurement criteria. This work is part of a larger completed investigation into information systems and information technology (IS/IT) project management models, developed for industry comparisons., – During the study, the concept of project failure and success is investigated. The authors carry out a UK‐based, grounded study of two project‐based industries of differing maturity levels (construction and IS/IT) to investigate measures of project failure or success across the two industries., – The paper presents a reassessment of project measurement criteria. This is based on the separation of measures for project performance and project progress., – The adopted strategy of naturalistic inquiry has always been susceptible to the criticism that it relies too much on subjective interpretation of data. In addition, no clear relationship was established between the factors discussed and the criteria for measuring project success., – The paper discusses current differences in perception of what actually constitutes a failed or successful project. The paper highlights that often two different (but closely related) concepts, are being discussed by project stakeholders.
