Economic conditions demand that Information Technologies (IT) deliver ever more business value. The scope and complexity of IT projects has increased, requiring excellent project management to fully realize the benefits of IT. The growing trend to outsourcing has similarly been driven by increasing IT complexity and pressure to generate greater business value from IT. The track focuses on various research issues not only in project management and outsourcing themselves but also in the nexus of these topics such as project management for outsourcing, outsourcing of project management, and their interrelatedness. The research topics of the papers submitted to this track might relate to some of the issues, addressing (but not limited to) the following areas:
* Issues for IT project management
• All aspects of project management standards, processes, methodologies, tools, and metrics
• Organizational project management competence and maturity
• Virtual and distributed project management
