Inhaltsangabe

Information Technology project management has changed dramatically over recent years. Drawing on the experiences of successful project management beyond the IT industry and synergizing cutting edge research with well-established practices in the IT industry, this book prefigures the 'next normal' in IT project management. As a milestone publication, this book augments and boosts the specialized body of knowledge in IT project management by capturing and consolidating key elements of this knowledge base. Chapters are presented in four distinct sections, each examining a different aspect of IT project management which includes — generic project management methodologies; teambuilding in relation to stakeholder management; the Iron Triangle of Time, Cost, Quality, and Risk; and new and innovative technologies and software for improved project management. Substantiated case studies and practical guidelines are designed to be of value to practitioners at all levels of IT project management: from novices' to experienced practitioners, while collectively elevating the body of knowledge and skills needed. This book aims to upgrade and update the knowledge of current practice to novices; offer pointers to experienced practitioners on potential areas for improvement; and provide innovative insights to undergraduates, researchers and other academics on the development, appreciation and application of IT project management knowledge.
