IT Project Management Tool Requirements to Support Collaborative University-Industry R&D

University-industry R&D collaborations are increasing and being encouraged by governments as a mean of enhancing wealth creation. Those help industries to foster innovation and its level of competitiveness and universities to improve their academic results as well as their sources of funding. While there are available several IT project management tools, the specific context of university-industry R&D funded collaboration demands specific needs to effectively help on the management activities of both partners. Therefore, this study collects the functionalities and requirements of an IT tool to support the management of university-industry R&D through a case study research strategy. The case study selected was based on a large publicly funded R&D collaborative program that covers 30 R&D projects carried out by the University of Minho and Bosch Car Multimedia, named as Innovative Car HMI. The program embraced an investment of 54.7 M€ and involved around 500 people during three years (2015-2018). Based on the Innovative Car HMI adopted governance model and the functionalities of the existent IT project management tools, it was possible to identify the functionalities and requirements to develop a new software tool to support this typology of university-industry collaborations.
