Abstract
The aim of the article is to identify success factors and barriers in IT project management conducted by experts from Poland and Serbia in 2023. Data was obtained using the CAWI method, conveniently using the opinions of experts gathered at industry conferences. The collected data were subjected to comparative analysis, and the obtained results were discussed. The obtained results indicated differences in opinions on success factors and barriers in IT project management in Poland and Serbia. The reason for this was the age structure of experts and their accustomedness to existing standards, as well as IT development in Poland and Serbia. Statistically significant differences occurred in views on additional knowledge or skills in the area of business process management necessary in the organization to manage IT projects, as well as in areas where the introduction of IT systems would translate into the greatest increase in revenues. The originality of the work lies in comparing views on IT project management between two countries with different cultures and histories. The analysis can be used by both experts at universities and business practitioners. Its limitation was the analysis conducted on a sample of experts associated with universities, only in two selected countries.
