Project Management
Ineffective project management is often cited as a reason for IT project failure. Because buyers of IT typically have to participate in the project, there are two or more parties involved, and frequently three or more considering niche vendors and software. This complicates project management.
What’s needed is very strong project management including clarity of duties of the various parties and effectively managing issues, scope, timeline and budget while ensuring quality.
Despite the complexity and criticality of the project management position, many buyers assign responsibility to an internal resource that does not have sufficient experience, or cede the project management role to the vendors, leaving themselves exposed.
