ABSTRACT
Information technology (IT) leaders lose billions of dollars and experience implementation delays because of failed projects. IT leaders must assign the right IT project manager to prevent project failure. Grounded in the critical success factor theory, the purpose of this quantitative correlational study was to examine the relationship between project managers’ gender (PMG), project managers’ years of experience (PMY), project managers’ age (PMA), and project success (PS) in the IT industry. Data were collected from 105 project managers in the U.S. IT sector using an online survey distribution platform. The results of the multiple regression analysis were not statistically significant. A key recommendation for IT business leaders is to assign a project manager based on competency and leadership regardless of PMG, PMY, and PMA. IT business leaders can expect similar project outcomes from project managers with any age, years of experience, or gender.
