Dissertation should be your own work and not simply a collection of parts of
papers from the literature. Plagiarism, whether from journals, books or internet
sources, will be severely punished and will result in an automatic failure (see
section on plagarism)

You should read as many primary references (i.e. original papers as opposed to
reviews and books) as possible and base your dissertation on these sources.

First, this was a great idea for you to have asked this question to solicit ideas for
your thesis.  I have a M.S. in project management, so I can appreciate your road
ahead.

I could probably give you a list a mile long, but you could consider topics related
to cost models, learning curves, the impact of agile, various distribution models
in decision making. 

Two of my favorite topics that I regularly incorporate into speaking

engagements are around risk models and the impact of project complexity
across various industries.

Good luck!

A Project is temporary in that it has a defined beginning and end in time, and
therefore defined scope and resources. It is unique in that it is not a routine
operation, but a specific set of operation team often includes people who don’t
usually work together sometimes from different organization and across
multiple geographies. Project management then is the application of
knowledge, skill, tools and techniques to project activities to meet the project
requirements. For more information click here.

electing a topic for your dissertation might give you a hard time, but at the same
time, it is the most exciting thing to do. As your dissertation depends on your
main topic; therefore, you must be very vigilant while selecting a topic for your
dissertation. If you are unable in selecting a topic, then you can also seek
dissertation help from professional people. The relevant and well-chosen topic
makes you write a high-quality content in your dissertation.
