摘要：It is our great pleasure to bring you the third number of the IJISPM - International Journal of Information Systems and Project Management. The mission of the IJISPM is the dissemination of new scientific knowledge on information systems management and project management, encouraging further progress in theory and practice. In this issue, readers will find important contributions on project management tools and practices for improving project performance. As Robert Pellerin, Nathalie Perrier, Xavier Guillot and Pierre-Majorique Léger state in their article "Project characteristics, project management software utilization and project performance: An impact analysis based on real project data", project management software packages are increasingly used by companies. These tools require a substantial financial investment, hence the importance of identifying the real contribution of project management software packages to the realization of projects. However, studies on the impacts of software packages on the performance of engineering project management are rare and mostly based on perceptions. The objective of the first article of the present edition of IJISPM is to investigate, from real project data, the level of utilization of a project management software package and its link with project performance and project characteristics. Results stemming from non -parametric tests and correlation analyses show that the level of use of the software, and some of its subsystems, appears to be linked to project performance. Project duration also seems to be the most critical project characteristic
