What Is IT project management?

• IT project management is the process of planning,
  organizing and delineating responsibility for the
  completion of an organizations' specific
  information technology (IT) goals.

3
It Includes

• IT project management includes overseeing
  projects for software development, hardware
  installations, network upgrades, cloud
  computing and virtualization rollouts, business
  analytics and data management projects and
  implementing IT services. 

4
Problems in IT Project management

• In addition to the normal problems that can cause
  a project to fail, factors that can negatively
  affect the success of an IT project include
  advances in technology during the project's
  execution, infrastructure changes that impact
  security and data management and unknown
  dependent relationships among hardware, software,
  network infrastructure and data.

5
Continued.

• IT projects may also succumb to the first-time,
  first-use penalty which represents the total risk
  an organization assumes when implementing a new
  technology for the first time. Because the
  technology hasnt been implemented or used before
  in the organization, there are likely to be
  complications that will affect the projects
  likelihood of success.

five process

• Initiation
• Planning
• Execution
• Monitoring and controlling
• Closing

7
InitiationInitiation the project goal, need or
problem is identified. The project manager is
assigned to the project and the project charter
is created.

• Planning
• Planning the project manager and the project
  team work together to plan all of the needed
  steps to reach
• a successful project conclusion. The project
  planning processes are iterative in nature and
  its expected that planning will happen often
  throughout the project.

8
ExecutionExecution once the project plan has
been created, the project team goes about
executing the project plan to create the
deliverables of the project. The project can
shift to project planning as needed throughout
project execution.

• Closing
• Closing at the end of each phase and at the end
  of the entire project, project closure happens to
  ensure that all of the work has been completed,
  is approved, and ultimately transferred ownership
  from the project team to operations.

10
Monitoring

• Monitoring and controlling as the project is
  being executed by the project team, the project
  manager monitors and controls the work for time,
  cost, scope, quality, risk, and other factors of
  the project. Monitoring and controlling is also
  an ongoing process to ensure that the project
  addresses its targets for each project objective.

11
Software Project management

• Software Project Management is a subset of
  Information Technology Project Management that
  deals exclusively with the development of
  software applications. Every application that is
  created follows some discernible process that can
  be connected to the set of steps that
  collectively define Software Project Management.

12
A project life cycle is divided into several
phases

• Concept
• Development
• Implementation
• close-out

13
Continued

• In the concept phase, uncertainty is highest as
  the purpose of the project is defined.
• In the development phase, project work plans and
  budgets are defined.
• In the implementation phase, the actual work on
  the projects product, service or result takes
  place.
• The close out phase marks the completion of work
  and sponsor or customer acceptance.
• Software projects follow this same life cycle but
  have some life cycle models that are distinct
  from other kinds of projects.
