dc.description.abstractThis paper aims to enhance our understanding of project management (PM) in collaborative Research & Development & Innovation (R&D&I) projects by analysing the fit between the use and usefulness of 35 PM practices. Research results include quantitative data analysis of 465 responses to an online survey questionnaire, complemented by a qualitative data analysis of 12 semi-structured interviews. The study identifies the top-10 ‘most used’ and ‘most useful’ PM practices in collaborative R&D&I, covering the complete PM lifecycle while emphasising the importance of the project ‘Initiation' phase. Furthermore, it identifies a set of ‘must have’ PM practices that exhibit a perfect fit, suggesting that consistent implementation impacts successful project outcomes. The remaining 26 PM practices surveyed present a ‘use misfit’, meaning they are deemed useful but are not frequently used. The paper delves into the causes behind this and explores potential strategies to address it, with leadership emerging as a significant strategy to overcome practice misfits.pt_PT
dc.description.sponsorshipLimitations of this research primarily stem from its focus on the Portuguese context. However, our findings and contributions could potentially be generalised due to the collaborative nature of R&D&I projects in Portugal, typically funded and supported by the European Union, involving partners and participants from various countries. Nevertheless, conducting a similar survey in other geographical contexts on a more global scale may yield valuable new insights. Moreover, it may also be important to explore the effect of selected PM practices on the performance and success of collaborative R&D&I projects.The authors are grateful to the Portuguese Innovation Agency (ANI) and the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT, Portugal) for financial support through national funds ANI and FCT/MCTES (PIDDAC) to CIMO (UIDB/00690/2020 (DOI: 10.54499/UIDB/00690/2020) and UIDP/00690/2020 (DOI: 10.54499/UIDP/00690/2020)), SusTEC (LA/P/0007/2021) (DOI: 10.54499/LA/P/0007/2020), ARISE (LA/P/0112/2020), ALGORITMI (UIDB/00319/2020), and CEMMPRE (UIDB/00285/2020).pt_PT
