quantitative research (Pardo, Nam, & Burke, 2012,
p.20).
• This will lead to a descriptive analysis

Conclusion
• It could be concluded that the study has helped to
comprehend about technology project management.
• It could be inferred that the available new techniques
should also be observed by an established project
department.
• The findings have illustrated that company requires
to implement change management in their projects
