Effective project management adds value to
strategic initiatives by
linking IT projects to your organization’s value
chain in line with
business goals and objectives.
Current View
-
IT project management is
seen by executives as a tactical
resource, not a strategic resource (Thomas et al., 2001)
-
IT projects are seen as
only supporting the organization’s
infrastructure
-
IT projects are managed
in lower echelons of the organization
with little or no executive interest or involvement
Projects are often duplicated throughout the
organization, especially
in global operations, resulting in—
-
Competition for scarce
resources
-
Disparate
regionally-based processes and tools
-
Increased
costs
-
Lack of scalability
-
Inability
to globally integrate with interdependent functions
