The motive of this study is to examine the impact of project management approaches on project performance in the IT sector of Pakistan. The study can be beneficial for the success of IT-based projects under the uncertain business environment and poor economic conditions in the country. In project management, different approaches traditional, agile, and hybrid are applied for increased project performance. The implementation of project management approaches will increase the project performance of the IT sector in Pakistan and enhance the capability of the software organization to achieve a competitive advantage. This study will also facilitate the project managers to adopt the best strategy for projects in this uncertain environment in Pakistan. The result will show the significant impact of agile and hybrid approaches on project performance and will improve the scope of project management in Pakistan. The study focuses on the changing environment how these approaches affect the performance measures of the projects and how the project managers can utilize the best one to enhance the performance of the project. The result of this research will support the IT industry of Pakistan and will bring innovation in this sector which encourages the business economy of the country.
