The Appropriate Way of Sharing Project Information: A Student Approach

The changing environment of development projects requires the renewal of project management tools, including effective information sharing. Reduced development time, modern approaches to project management, pandemic pressure, and new communication technologies enforce improved solutions. The study deals with the evaluation of the effectiveness and utilization of project information-sharing solutions among engineering and management higher education students. Their approach is at high priority both as future project-team members and involved in a joint project of companies and higher education institutions. Based on the responses of 155 students, digitalization seems to be accepted, but the expected role of personal attendance meetings is dominant. The engineering and management students’ approaches do not show significant differences. Cluster analysis allowed different patterns in the sample about the effectiveness of personal and impersonal ways of sharing, but attendance meetings are evaluated as the most important in each cluster. The results can be used for establishing targeted research in the field.
