Abstract (EN): The authors start by presenting a disciplinary positioning regarding the information science (IS) that is being developed, investigated, and taught at the University of Porto, Portugal and rigorously spelling out the cross-cutting approach to information management (IM), which is also shared with other social sciences and technology-oriented disciplines. From this point, it is presented a short overview and a literature review about the nature of project management (PM) to emphasize the need for an effective and fully assumed approach between IM and PM. It is observed that for PM specialists, info-communicational flows are important, and they seek to manage them intuitively, but without feeling compelled to draw on the know-how of the IS and IM specialists. However, the opposite is true, that is, there are in course some interesting adaptations of PM procedures, applied to informational projects, as it is shown in the last part of this chapter.
