The project identified 2760 publications combining these topics and analysed in detail 38 core publications combining all three topics. The main findings were: 1.

Project management offers the right instruments to solve the multitude of problems that arise during the life of a project from its beginning to its completion.

The contributions demonstrate the enormous progress that has taken place in PM within the past years in a language and style which is understandable for project managers in both industrialized and developing countries.
