Project Management Information System (PMIS) is a special purpose information system that is created to provide useful information for project managers and participants to make effective and efficient decision making during projects. The use of PMIS is increasing in project based industries such as construction, defense, manufacturing, software development, telecommunication, etc. It is generally known that PMIS helps to improve the quality of decision making in project management, and consequently improves the project management performance. However, it is unclear what are the difference of PMIS impacts between industries, and still need to be studied further. The purpose of this study is to compare the impact of PMIS on project management performance between industries. We assume that the effects of PMIS will be different depending on the industry types. Five hypotheses are established and tested by using statistical methods. Data were collected by using a survey questionnaire from those people who had experience of using PMIS in various project related industries such as construction, defense, manufacturing, software development and telecommunication. The survey questionnaire consists of 5 point scale items and were distributed through e-mails and google drive network. A total of 181 responses were collected, and 137 were used for analysis after excluding those responses with missing items. Statistical techniques such as factor analysis and multiple regression are used to analyze the data. Summarizing the results, it is found that the impacts of PMIS quality on the PM performance are different depending on the industry types where PMIS is used. System quality seems to be more important for improving the PM performance in construction industry while information quality seems more important for manufacturing industry. As for the ICT and R&D industries, PMIS seems to have relatively lesser impact compared to construction and manufacturing industries.

본 연구에서는 A 연구소의 프로젝트 관리자들을 대상으로 프로젝트관리지식체계에 대한 인지도, 자신만의 기준 보유여부, 예산초과 등의 원인, 프로젝트관리자로서 요구되는 지식 및 능력, 프로젝트관리정보시스템 사용여부 등의 설문조사 결과를 살펴보고, 프로젝트관리정보시스템(PMIS) 사용과 프로젝트관리자의 프로젝트관리지식체계(PMBOK)에 대한 인지여부, 프로젝트관리자의 자신만의 기준 보유여부 등이 계획된 프로젝트 기간/일정을 준수하는데 도움을 주는지 여부를 통계적 가설을 수립하여 분석하였다.
