In today’s competitive business climate, an organisation's capacity to efficiently align IT resources and business activities with strategic objectives can mean the difference between success and failure. This is particularly important in the area of new IT investment, where many projects have failed due to poor planning and management.
Project management is critical to the success of all major IT projects. Without management, project teams may pursue the wrong objectives, may not include the right mix of personalities or skills, may be impeded by organisational disfunctionality, or may not deliver as much value as possible.
A recent study, by Templeton College at the University of Oxford, clearly illustrates the consequences of ineffective project management. The study found that 35% of projects are delivered late, 54% of projects are delivered to less than full-scope, and only 16% of projects are delivered on time, on budget and to full scope.
The challenges of managing IT projects
Organisations of all types, both large and small and in the private or public sectors, experience similar challenges when undertaking the management of IT related projects. All projects have essential elements that need to be managed these include:
- Resources - People, equipment, material.
- Time - Task durations, dependencies, critical path.
- Scope - Project size, goals, requirements.
All these elements are interrelated and will sometimes conflict. Each must be managed effectively. All must be managed together if the project is to be a success.
