Practical Guide to Project Management Information Systems
A pioneering practical guide to PMIS architecture, governance, processes and implementation, originally authored in 2010.
Written more than a decade before PMIS became widely discussed as a governance and decision-support discipline, this book presented Project Management Information Systems as more than software, dashboards or fragmented reporting. It introduced a structured, process-oriented view of PMIS based on practical implementation experience in project-driven organizations.
A Practical Framework for PMIS Architecture, Governance and Processes
Practical Guide to Project Management Information System was originally written in Persian in 2010 and translated into English in 2026. The book addresses a persistent challenge in project-driven organizations: the gap between using project management software and establishing a governed, reliable and decision-supporting PMIS environment.
The book views PMIS not as a software product or reporting tool, but as an integrated system of processes, information flows, roles, responsibilities, governance mechanisms and enabling technologies. It provides a structured roadmap for analyzing, designing, implementing and supporting PMIS at both project and enterprise levels.
PMIS Processes

PMIS is More Than Software
Many organizations invest in project management software but still struggle with inconsistent information, weak accountability, fragmented reporting and limited decision support. This book explains why PMIS must be approached as a governed information system, not merely as a set of tools.
Its central message is that effective PMIS requires clear processes, defined responsibilities, reliable information flows, appropriate tools and an organizational structure capable of sustaining project information quality.
