Limiting IT Project Failure By Integrating An IT Framework For Project Management And IT Service Delivery (2007)

Framework For Project Management Dissertation – 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.
