Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to present the e-Government’s problems attributed to project management and to introduce research to determine if these problems could be mitigated by strengthening the North American project management standard methodology (PMBOK - Project Management Body of Knowledge 2000 Edition) to support an e-Government environment. Specifically, this chapter intends to share insights into answering the following questions: Why has e-Government, especially transformational e-Government, not advanced around the world to the degree anticipated? Neither developed nor emerging nations have embraced the opportunities to the extent possible, and few can share and breach the gap towards success. Could current project management methodologies have played a role? Were they helpful? Did they drive or hinder success?
