Introduction All organizations rely on different decisions to drive their operations, and their performance is dependent on the effectiveness of their choices. It is for this rea- son that large firms implement PMIS (Project Management Information System) to facilitate effective decision making and efficient management of information (Radovic-Markovic & Vucekovic, 2015). Managers of these companies believe that these technologies can help them improve their decision-making, as well as foster proper planning and monitoring of the company operations to improve the attainment of the set goals and objectives. Bakens (2010) adds that manage- ment information systems create a convenient working environment for project managers, thus allowing them to handle several activities concurrently.
