The authors formulated a hypothesis addressing the issue of how awareness regarding IT project management has changed over the last five years. The main hypothesis was supplemented by auxiliary hypotheses concerning the variation regarding awareness of: the need to implement information systems into organizations, the need to apply process management within these implementations, and the determinants and effects of IT project management. Main results. The main results and findings of the research were determined by the validity of the hypotheses using the Fisher-Snedecor test. In addition, differences in city and Euclidean distance indices were calculated, which indicated the directions of changes in experts’ views on the place and role of project management.
