IT PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Every major study in this area shows that bad management is the main cause of failure for IT projects. A bad project preparation, an underestimated calendar, a badly allocated budget, disorganized teams or lack of communication…
According to Standish Group’s 2014 Chaos report, one of the most reliable studies in this area, 52% of projects face deadline and budget difficulties, 30% of projects fail completely and only 16% are a complete success. Of course, the more complex the project, the more uncertain the success.
Thus, project management must not be considered incidental. More so than the technical skills, it is the core challenge to ensure, since team skills can be managed or modified. Whereas poor management cannot easily be undone.
