  Ref: ict0015 Much
has been written about IT (Information
technology) project failure and numerous academic, industry and case
study
research papers exist on this subject. IT Project failure causes are
however
somewhat open for interpretation and remedial actions to resolve the
continued
and ever increasing number of failure cases are inconclusive. There is
growing
recognition from in the corporate world for the need to leverage the
strategic
advantage that IT can provide by adopting a successful approach in
relation the
delivery of new IT based initiatives. There is also the recognition
that IT
operational services are pinnacle to the successful operation of
business as
usual. The IT infrastructure now more than ever supports and ensures
operation
of the business infrastructure. This is most evident when considering
real-time
(24 x 7) business commerce such as the services being offered by a
number of
Internet traders. A review of best practice project management and IT
delivery
methods illustrates that various applied and proven methods or practice
frameworks exist, that can easily be adopted within organisations of
any size
to manage the implementation and operation of their IT investment.
These same
methods or practice frameworks can and should be used to minimise
typical IT
project failure scenarios.
