Abstract: This study sought to explore the influence of project management information systems on the implementation of ICT projects in the banking industry in Kenya in order to improve pace of implementation and draw important lessons for future projects. Three theories relating to the implementation of ICT projects which include, the Contingency Theory, Theory of Reasoned action and The Technology acceptance model were explored. The study was grounded on the Technology acceptance model as this Theory provides more insight on the factors influencing implementation of ICT projects. Descriptive research design was used to gather primary data by use of questionnaires. A sample size of 60 employees was selected from a target population of 176 employees from the five selected banks in the banking industry. Multistage sampling procedure was used to select the banks and departments while simple random sampling was used to select individual respondents. Data was analyzed by use of SPSS v 22.0 and presented in form of tables. From the data analysis, it was established that PMIS influences the implementation of ICT projects. PMIS were found to be the most influential with a mean score of 4.4. Given that the study focused only on five banks within Nairobi region, the results may not be applicable to all Banks in Kenya. It is recommended that a study be done cutting across all the banks in the country that would allow for broader generalization of findings.
