Considering Contemporary Project Management Approaches against E-Government Challenges

In taking forward both the Government Modernisation and the Civil Service Reform agendas, renewed emphasis is being placed on project management approaches and techniques for achieving objectives more effectively and efficiently. After elaborating on specific electronic government projects implementation challenges, the present paper recognizes the weaknesses of the contemporary project management approaches against the identified e-Government challenges. Future analysis of the results will guide the identification of project management gaps, contributing to the better understanding of the factors that lead to governmental IT projects success or failure, assisting practitioners as they deploy such projects and enhancing the ongoing research debate about discovering successful e-Government project implementation best practices.
