Characteristics of high-performing information systems project managers and project teams

Projects, and their success, are vital if organisations are to produce new products and services. The key players in IS projects are the project manager and the project team. This paper discussed ongoing research of two projects - one that attempts to identify the key characteristics of the I.S. project manager and the other which researches the attributes of a high-performance project team. At this stage, the paper analyses the research literature. (The empirical component of the research projects will be reported at a later stage)
