Organizations worldwide are dependent on ERP systems for their day-to-day operations, as this software allows enterprises to integrate a wide range of business processes throughout different functional areas to increase productivity, efficiency and their competitive advantage. Research methods applied: review of the literature; analysis of secondary data and primary data collected by interviews with industry experts. Through qualitative data and interviews with experts, project management (PM) practice was examined to determine the most relevant practice in ERP-related projects.   The findings of the empirical part include a list of five methodologies which are used or highly recommended for ERP projects; a classification of ERP projects types, which have different characteristics, work scope and duration; and a list of twenty factors important for PM practice determination. Recommendations from IT and ERP industry experts regarding the qualification of a project’s internal and external factors are provided and an example of a matrix for PM practice determination is described.  The findings provide a basis for further studies in the PM field regarding the introduction of contemporary information technology and modern ERP to a business environment.},
