Abstract/Resumo
An increasing number of organizations operate through projects to achieve their strategic objectives.
The main objective of this study is to analyse the degree of dissemination of the project management

aims to identify the extent to which the different knowledge areas and their respective PM practices
are implemented and linked to projects success. The results achieved underlines that the practices
related with cost, time, and scope management are the most well stablished. Furthermore, the study
highlighted that other knowledge areas had an effect on projects success. Moreover, the project
managers pointed out other lessimmediately reachable criteria for projectsuccesslike end-customers
and project team satisfaction or fulfilment of organizational objectives. The use of a multidimensional
analytical approach to PM makes an important contribution in the analyses of the practices and factors
that most contributed to project success.
