Abstract
This research is aimed at businesses or organizations that find in the information and communication technology ICT, a means to generate knowledge in project management, recognizing competitive advantages by leveraging the basic specifications that techniques, tools and applications used by ICT give as an important contribution for profit in the execution of a project. These technologies are analyzed from the main factors assessed for both success and failure of a project, among which lack of collaborative work from the project team and others involved can be evidenced, as well as their interactions and the way each individual tackles and meets their functions. In a competitive environment, highlighting that collaborative work, performed through the use and appropriation of information and communication technology is fundamental, increasing not only the sense of belonging to the execution of a project, but the application of better practices, built out of mistakes and experiences from the team members. As a consequence to this approach, this paper shows the inclusion of the use and appropriation of ICT as a means of generating knowledge in project management.
