The IT Project Management Special Interest Group (SIG) of the Association for Information Systems (AIS) is comprised of a passionate group of individuals that are interested in IT project management (ITProjMgmt). We actively sponsor tracks at AIS conferences (e.g., AMCIS, PACIS, and ECIS) as well as host our own pre-ICIS workshop devoted to IT project management.

The SIG was founded in 2006 by Deepak Khazanchi, Ph.D. (The University of Nebraska at Omaha) with over forty charter members. The first International Research Workshop on IT Project Management was held as a pre-ICIS workshop in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 2006 with approximately 50 attendees. As of 2020, the SIG has over 150 members and is sponsoring its 15th International Research Workshop on IT Project Management as well as tracks at AMCIS and PACIS.
