Class Outline 2

Introduction The world as a whole spends nearly $10 trillion of its $40.7 trillion gross product on projects of all kinds More than 16 million people regard project management as their profession The overall information and communications technology market grew by 6 percent to almost $3 trillion in

What Is a Project? 4

Project Attributes A project  5

The Triple Constraint of Project Management

Project and Program Managers Project managers work with project sponsors, project team, and other people involved in a project to meet project goals Program : group of related projects managed in a coordinated way to obtain benefits and control not available from managing them individually (PMBOK® Guide, Fifth Edition, 2012) Program manager provides leadership and direction for the project managers heading the projects within the program 7

Project Management Offices A Project Management Office (PMO) is an organizational group responsible for coordinating the project management function throughout an organization 8

Project Stakeholders Who are the stakeholders in a project? 9

An IT PM Approach “ If technology does not accelerate a business objective, it should be at the bottom of the list.” CIO Panel, AMCIS 2014 Organizational resources are limited, so organizations must choose among competing interests to fund specific projects This decision should be based on the value a competing project will provide to an organization 1-10

Motivation for Studying Information Technology (IT) Project Management IT Projects have a terrible track record, as described in the “What Went Wrong?” 11

Advantages of Using Formal Project Management Better control of financial, physical, and human resources Improved customer relations Shorter development times Lower costs Higher quality and increased reliability Higher profit margins Improved productivity Better internal coordination Higher worker morale 12

Which Situation is Worse? Successfully building and implementing a system that provides little or no value to the organization? Or… Failing to implement an information system that could have provided value to the organization, but was underdeveloped or poorly managed?

Why Do IT Projects Fail? Larger projects have the lowest success rate and appear to be more risky than medium and smaller projects The CHAOS studies also provides some insight as to the factors that influence project success

The Software Crisis The CHAOS study published in 1995 by The Standish Group found that although the U.S spent over $250 billion on IT projects, approximately…  31% were cancelled before completion  53% were completed but over budget, over schedule, & did not meet original specifications For mid-size companies, average cost overruns were 182%, while average schedule overruns were 202%! 1-15 Copyright 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Has it gotten better?

Results of increased focus on PM: Improved Project Performance Why the Improvements?

Project Success There are several ways to define project success:  17

What Helps Projects Succeed?* 1. User involvement 2. Executive support 3. Clear business objectives 4. Emotional maturity 5. Optimizing scope 6. Agile process 7. Project management expertise 8. Skilled resources 9. Execution 10. Tools and infrastructure 18 *The Standish Group, “CHAOS Activity News” (August 2011).

Improving the likelihood of success A Value-Driven Approach Socio-technical Approach Project Management Approach Knowledge Management Approach 1-21 Copyright 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Project Management Institute The Project Management Institute (PMI) is an international professional society for project managers with 380,000 members worldwide in 2012  Project Management Professional ( PMP ) has documented sufficient project experience, agreed to follow a code of ethics, and passed the PMP exam Project Management Professional  Certified Associate in PM ( CAPM ) is achievable with less experience Certified Associate in PM CompTIA offers another certification option  CompTIA Project+ has less requirements but is not as well recognized as PMP CompTIA Project+ 22

Project Management Knowledge Areas Knowledge areas describe the key competencies that project managers must develop  Core Functions  Facilitating Functions  Integration Function 23

What is Project Management? “the application of knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to project activities to meet project requirements” ( PMBOK® Guide, Fourth Edition, 2012 ) Information Technology Project Management, Seventh Edition 24 Stakeholders Core Functions Facilitating Functions
