Abstract: Design Thinking (DT) and Project Management (PM) have received significant attention from the academic community. Yet, there is a lack of rigorous studies that have identified the complementary nature of these methods. To address this gap in knowledge, this study aims to identify and relate the key characteristics of DT and PM. A triangulation was established between the data from the literature, email interviews, an online discussion forum, a workshop and interviews with experts in DT and PM. The result shows that the DT and PM characteristics identified are highly compatible and complementary. This study can be used by scholars and practitioners in the fields of DT and PM to understand the main characteristics to be adopted and practiced by project participants, thus serving as a guide for recruiting and training them.
