IT PROJECT MANAGEMENT

“a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product, service, or result.”

work done in organizations to sustain the business.

Every project should have a well-defined objective.

A project has a definite beginning and end.

Projects are often defined broadly when

they begin, and as time passes, the specific details of the project become clearer.

Resources include people,hardware,

software, and other assets.

Most projects have many interested parties

or stakeholders, but someone must take the primary role of sponsorship.

Uncertainty. Because every project is unique, it is sometimes difficult to define

its objectives clearly, estimate how long it will take to complete, or determine how much it will

cost.

To create a

successful project, a project manager must consider scope, time, and cost and balance these three

often-competing goals:

What work will be done as part of the project?

What unique product, service, or

result does the customer or sponsor expect from the project?

How will the scope be

verified?
