- Description
- Information technology (IT) is evolving rapidly and benefits a wide variety of industries to break conventional communication barriers. Recent advancements in management information systems have enabled project-based organizations to monitor and control their projects more effectively. Although the role of IT tools (ITT) has been explored in previous research, the importance of each type of tool in achieving higher effectiveness in real-time management of projects has been less studied. This study aims to explore the significance of each type of IT tools for this purpose. Thus, a survey of principal contracting organizations in the construction industry was carried out, which indicated that reporting tools, integrated platforms, analytical tools, knowledge management tools, and archiving tools are key ITT groups that should be applied collaboratively. Although reporting tools were perceived as the most important group from the experts' view, the correlation analysis also revealed that all five groups are interrelated and should be applied coherently to achieve satisfactory outcomes. This study explains the application of ITTs for real-time project management and directs further research on this topic.
