The Nature of Information Technology Projects

Introduction • Information Technology (IT) projects are organizational investments that require – Time – Money – Other resources such as people, technology, facilities, etc. • Organizations expect some type of value in return of this investment

Introduction cont…. IT Project Management  is a relatively new discipline  combines traditional Project Management with Software Engineering/ Management Information Systems to make IT projects more successful.

ITPM Approach • Organizational resources are limited, so organizations must choose among competing interests to fund specific projects. • This decision should be based on the value a competing project will provide to an organization.

Which Situation is Worse? Please read and share your Opinion to the class • Successfully building and implementing a system that provides little or no value to the organization. Or…

• Failing to implement an information system that could have provided value to the organization, but was poorly developed or poorly managed.

Why Do IT Projects Fail? • Larger projects have the lowest success rate and appear to be more risky than medium and smaller projects – Technology, business models and markets change so rapidly that a project that takes more than a year can be obsolete before they are completed.

• The Chaos study by The Standish Group provides some insight as to the factors that influence project success.

Has the Current State of IT Projects Changed Since 1995? • The Standish Group has continued to study IT projects over the years. • In general, IT Projects are showing higher success rates due to – Better project management tools & processes – Smaller projects – Improved communication among stakeholders – More skillful IT project managers • But there is still ample opportunity for improvement!

Improving the likelihood of success • Socio-technical Approach • Project Management Approach – processes and infrastructure (Methodology) – resources – expectations – competition – efficiency and effectiveness • Knowledge Management Approach – lessons learned, best practices and shared knowledge

IT PROJECT SUCCESS FACTORS • • • • • • • • • •

User involvement - 15.9% Executive Management Support – 13.9% Clear Statement of Requirements – 13.0% Proper Planning – 9.6% Realistic Expectations – 8.2% Smaller Project Milestones – 7.7% Competent Staff – 7.2% Ownership – 5.3% Clear Vision and Objectives – 2.9% Hardworking, Focused Staff – 2.4%

PROJECT CHALLENGED FACTORS • • • • • • • • • •

Lack of User Input – 12.8% Incomplete Reqments & Specs – 12.3% Changing Requirements – 11.8% Lack of Executive Support – 7.5% Technology Incompetence – 7.0% Lack of Resources – 6.4% Unrealistic Expectations – 5.9% Unclear Objectives – 5.3% Unrealistic Time Frames – 4.3% New Technology – 3.7 %

PROJECT IMPAIRED FACTORS • • • • • • • • • •

Incomplete Reqments & Specs – 13.1% Lack of User Involvement – 12.4% Lack of Resources – 10.6% Unrealistic Expectations – 9.9% Lack of Executive Support – 9.3% Changing Requirements – 8.7% Lack of Planning – 8.1% Didn’t Need It Any Longer – 7.5% Lack of IT Management – 6.2% Technology Illiteracy – 4.3%

The Context of Project Management

Project Management Basic

1.1.1 What is a Project? Examples of Projects: • Developing a new product of service • Constructing a building or facility • Developing a new information system

Project Management Basic

1.1 What is a Project? 

Definition of a Project: A Project is temporary endeavor

to create a unique product or service

Every project has a definite beginning and a definite end

The product or service is different in some distinguishing way from all other products or services

Project Management Basic

1.1 What is a Project?

Has a definite beginning and a definite end

Several constraints: cost, schedule, quality, resources and etc.

?

??

Can be divided into several phases

Has a concrete goal

Project Management Basic

1.1 What is a Project? 1.1.2 What is Project Management?  the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to project activities in order to meet or exceed project requirements (PMBOK2008)

Project Management Basic

1.1 What is a Project?

Project management is to balance: • Competing demands for scope, time, cost, risk, and quality • Stakeholders with differing needs and expectations • Identified requirements

Project Management Basic

1.1 What is a Project?

*Scope: the sum of the products and

services to be provided as a project *Stakeholder: individuals and organizations that are actively involved in the project, or whose interests may be positively or negatively affected as a result of project execution or project completion

Project Management Basic

1.1 What is a Project?

Project team: As specialists, many staffs work toward the specific goal. Direction Project Manager

The team members can perform effective work

Project Management Basic

1.1 What is a Project? 1.1.3 Major Management Element

Scope Cost

Quality

Schedule

Risk

Elements (constraints) should be synthetically controlled

Project Management Processes • • • • •

Initiating Planning Executing Monitoring and Controlling Closing

Project Management Knowledge draws on 9 areas: • Integration • • • • • • • •

Scope Time Cost Quality Procurement Human Resources Communications Risk Management

Project Management unique focus:

• shaped by goals, resources and schedule of each project • VALUE of that focus is proved by rapid, worldwide growth of PM – As a recognized and strategic organizational competence – As a subject for training and education – As a career path

The Context of Project Management – Project Attributes • • • • •

• • • •

Time Frame Purpose (to provide value!) Ownership Resources (the triple constraint) Roles – Project Manager – Project Sponsor – SME (domain & technical) Risk & Assumptions Interdependent Tasks Planned Organizational Change Operate in Environments Larger than the Project Itself

In Times of Change…. Fast becoming a new norm of the modern business world, CHANGE MANAGEMENT requires STRONG LEADERSHIP from above. June 2012 PM Network

IT’S A BASIC RULE OF SURVIVAL ….

ADAPT … or DIE. June 2012 PM Network

73% of project professionals said their orgs. use change management and that these practices lead to higher success rates. Source: PMs 2012 Pulse of the Profession Survey

The Project Life Cycle and IT Development • Project Life Cycle (PLC) – A collection of logical stages or phases that maps the life of a project from its beginning to its end in order to define, build and deliver the product of the project – i.e., the information system

• Projects are divided into phases to increase manageability and reduce risk – Phase exits, stage gates, or kill points are decision points at the end of each phase to evaluate performance, correct problems or cancel the project – Fast tracking is the overlapping of phases to reduce the project’s schedule • Can be risky!

Generic Project Life Cycle

Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) • Represents the sequential phases or stages an information system follows throughout its useful life • Useful for understanding the development of the project’s largest work product – the application system • Phases/Stages – Planning – Analysis – Design – Implementation – Maintenance and Support

Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC)

The Relationship Between the PLC and the SDLC • The systems development life cycle (SDLC) becomes part of the project life cycle (PLC). – The PLC focuses on the project management phases, processes, tools and techniques for effectively managing the project. – The SDLC focuses on the software engineering phases, processes, tools and techniques for building and/or implementing the IT solution.

The Relationship Between the PLC & SDLC

Putting the SDLC into Practice • Structured Approach to Systems Development – Waterfall Method • Rapid Applications Development (RAD) – Prototyping – Spiral Development – Extreme Programming

The Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK®) • The Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) documents 9 project management knowledge areas • The PMBOK® Guide is published and maintained by the Project Management Institute (PMI). – http://www.pmi.org

The Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK®) • PMI provides a certification in project management called the Project Management Professional (PMP) that many people today believe will be as relevant as a CPA certification. • PMP certification requires that you pass a PMP certification exam to demonstrate a level of understanding about project management, as well as satisfy education and experience requirements, and agree to a professional code of conduct.
