From the Back Cover
The repeated failure of IT projects to deliver an adequate return on investment remains a pressing concern in the industry. In a climate where corporate development budgets are being reviewed or even withdrawn, IT projects are no longer seen as a means to deliver automatic benefits into the organization.
In Successful IT Project Delivery, author and experienced IT consultant David Yardley examines the causes of this catalog of underachievement and provides the reader with an opportunity so often denied within their own workplace -- to learn the lessons from project failure.
A core theme in the book is that IT project failure is not simply a technical issue which can be resolved with technology, but also a business issue, requiring ownership, commitment and understanding from those who seek business change through the use of IT. When the business and IT strategies within an organization do not complement and support each other, things can go wrong very quickly.
Key features:
- International case histories of failed IT projects, from the public and private sectors
- Extracts from end-of-project reviews
- Unique project "health-check" examination for each stage of the process
- Troubleshooting chart to identify early warning symptoms and suggest corrective action
- A list of 20 essential "lessons", drawn from previous project failures
- A summary of popular IT methodologies and their strengths and weaknesses
Successful IT Project Delivery recognizes that people, not technologies, are the key component of IT projects. Its lessons are addressed to all major project stakeholders: business sponsors, project managers and team members, IT professionals, consultants, and business users.
