Sažetak
Considering the ever faster rate of business activities, it is important for each organization to establish a smooth flow of relevant information and coordination of business activities. Nowadays they are almost unimaginable to achieve without using information and communication technology. Project oriented organizations and their effectiveness largely depend on the success of their projects. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) offers adequate tools for support in project planning and management, whereat one of the most often used software solutions is MS Project. Investments in IT projects are usually high, but their return is sometimes questionable. This research aims to prove that investments of project organizations in software tools, such as MS Project, bring significant benefits, and have impact on project success. The survey includes IT firms from the Varaždin County taken as an example of project organizations. It also includes other mostly larger-sized companies from all over Croatia for results comparison. We assume that these companies largely use the above mentioned – or similar – tools for project management.
