Abstract : The low penetration of information technologies and systems in most sectors of developing nations is responsible for its slow-paced development. Project execution faces the challenges of improper use of project resources and the traditional project management of the project lifecycle. The lifecycle of project development tends to follow traditional/manual procedures. Therefore, there is need to explores the influence of project management information system on project outcomes in Nigeria. Questionnaire was used to collect data from 130 respondents with primary aim of investigating the adoption of PMIS tools in the management of projects and their significant influence on the project outcome. Collected data were analyzed quantitatively using statistics. The use of Project Management Information System application tools and the frequency of its usage were the key components of PMIS implementation that were observed to have significant influences on project outcomes. The use of PMIS tools is positively related to the project outcomes. This suggests an expected improvement in project outcome with the continuous use of PMIS tools. With the advancement in technology and globalization of the world economy, organizations must take advantage of information systems. Organizations in developing nations must evolve to become technology-driven for better project outcomes.

Keywords : Project Strategies, Project Outcomes, Project Management, Project Risk.
