Over the years there has
been considerable improvements made to ensure IT projects are defined,
managed and delivered successfully. However a recent report states that
3 out of every 10 IT projects that span over one year fail. In
addition, to make matters worse, of the remaining 7 projects that did
not “fail” business owners claim 30% did not meet their needs. To put
it in perspective, 42% of the overall projects undertaken did not meet
the needs of the business.
As with any activity scientific or practical, industrial or
commercial Project Management when done well, helps move the needle in
the right direction. There are a number of obstacles to overcome, but
we as project managers are leading a transformation to realize the goal
of improving the success rate of IT projects. The goal of this
presentation is to provide a snap shot of the current landscape in
project management and to discuss the future trends that will allow for
more projects to be delivered successfully.
