Summary Excerpt Details

Information technology project management is different from normal project management due to the possible complexity it could be. It could vary from designing the infrastructure of a new building to developing a simple application. Its complexity comes from the fact that many teams can be involved (e.g. network team, software team, technical support, vendors, finance, etc.). In addition, the dynamic nature of the IT projects requires the project manager to be more agile to challenges that might come. In this article, we will have a situation from real life on how IT project manager will organize his project in all its stages, from project initiation to project close. It will show samples of reports that should be generated periodically to track the project execution.
