IT Project Management

IT projects have many unique aspects. All too often, projects proceed with less than adequate up-front planning. As new requirements emerge throughout the project, managers and developers make costly changes. Communication among all project stakeholders may be limited by company culture, inexperience, or fear of discussing a project's shortcomings. More than many other disciplines, information technology projects routinely suffer from unstructured practices, leading to costly mistakes and delays.

Project Management Discipline

The same structured techniques applied to building skyscrapers, airliners, and bridges can be applied to software development. General-purpose, economical project management software has tremendous capabilities which can be applied to manage IT projects. The same project management discipline proven effective over the years can be equally effective managing your business technology. Why then, do IT projects so often suffer from project management problems.
