INTRODUCTION
Poor-quality IT systems - Late delivery of IT
systems - Cost overruns on IT systems development. Fifty
years ago, in 1968 in Garmish Germany, these outcomes led to delegates at the
first NATO conference in software engineering to coin the term “Software
Crisis”. Despite advances in technology and development approaches, it is still
hugely challenging to deliver IT systems that satisfy stakeholder expectations
in relation to delivery dates, costs and usefulness.
IT project
management is notoriously difficult due to the rapid increase in possible IT
solutions leading to users and other stakeholders often only coming to realize
that what they require is not what they initially requested! In many cases,
solid predictive project management with rigorous change controls has been used
to tackle this issue - sometimes successfully but not always! As the world
becomes increasingly complex and IT demands become more diverse, another more
agile project management approach has proven to be more effective in meeting
stakeholders needs. This training course presents generally accepted practices
(as outlined in the PMI® Project Management Body of Knowledge
(PMBOK® Guide) used in both predictive and agile project
management approaches.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This training course is
targeted at both management and team members engaged in IT projects. The
training course is designed to clearly explain formal project management
approaches and enable delegates to recognize “warning signals” that indicate
when IT projects are about to encounter issues. While delegates learn generally
accepted practices widely used in predictive project management, they are also
trained on how to refine predictive thinking in order to apply agile IT project
management practices.
This training course is
suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:
COURSE CONTENT
Day One: Nature of IT Projects
Day Two: Scope - IT Requirements
