Ref: ict0015 Much has been written about IT (Information
technology) project failure and numerous academic, industry and case study
research papers exist on this subject. IT Project failure causes are however
somewhat open for interpretation and remedial actions to resolve the continued
and ever increasing number of failure cases are inconclusive. There is growing
recognition from in the corporate world for the need to leverage the strategic
advantage that IT can provide by adopting a successful approach in relation the
delivery of new IT based initiatives. There is also the recognition that IT
operational services are pinnacle to the successful operation of business as
usual. The IT infrastructure now more than ever supports and ensures operation
of the business infrastructure. This is most evident when considering real-time
(24 x 7) business commerce such as the services being offered by a number of
Internet traders. A review of best practice project management and IT delivery
methods illustrates that various applied and proven methods or practice
frameworks exist, that can easily be adopted within organisations of any size
to manage the implementation and operation of their IT investment. These same
methods or practice frameworks can and should be used to minimise typical IT
project failure scenarios.
