The modern business conditions of the 21st century call into question the survival of the traditional way of doing business. In order to maintain competitiveness, today's companies implement digitization and modern technologies in their operations. The transformation of trade, mutual communication, the market and the daily life of an individual leads to the creation of new business areas closely related to the technologies of the new industrial revolution. In order to remain competitive in the merciless and changing market, companies try to implement non-standard activities and processes, in other words, IT projects. Information technology is used in the organization of business in order to contribute and ensure the company's key resources for long-term growth and progress, which also means an increase in income and competitiveness in the market. The potential of modern technologies, such as additive technology, enables a series of specific and functional procedures that expand business opportunities by creating new products and services. Accordingly, it can be said that IT projects are of essential importance for modern companies. Understanding the IT project requires knowledge about information technologies and how they affect the business structure and employees. The lack of knowledge about new technologies reflects on startup companies and on the implementation of digitization in small and medium-sized enterprises. The solution to the problem is to implement education in the school system and public institutions, thus ensuring an educated workforce for the future.
