Abstract

It has been largely researched what the factors which determine successful project management are. Most of the research show a huge dependency between project success and type of the projects in terms of size, industry, scope, market, etc. Much research analyze the type of project management and all specifics related to its application. This paper focuses on project management specifically for innovation projects as they are extremely different types of projects which require distinct project management approach. The purpose of the research is to determine the current state of art of the topic by revealing the research achievements in the science literature. The research applies a systematic literature analysis through a traditional approach as well as an advanced technique for digital systematic literature review so to reveal the current status of the state of art of the topic Project management for innovation projects. The systematic literature analysis went through 299 research papers from the Scopus database so to uncover the current accomplishment. The results are of interest to scientists and practitioners primarily from the management sciences, but are also extremely suitable for practitioners from any other industry related to innovation development.
