 E-government projects are different from the others due to their complexity in
-terms of organizational size; resistance to changes (due to this size);
-innovation; impacts to end users and policies. The partnership between
-government and academia can be seen as a means of transferring technological
-knowledge for the creation of innovative e-government projects. This type of
-collaboration has challenges not only in the organization of the project and
-the alignment of objectives and rhythms, but also to overcome the high
-probability of failure of e-government projects. Despite the various solutions
-proposed to prevent these projects from failing, none of them actually seems to
-reduce this rate, which generates not only a waste of money but also a lack of
-services offered to society. Among the reasons for this failure, poor project
-management is one of the main.

 approach in the management of a partnership project between government and
