Qxd 14 8/18/05 3:09 PM Page 14 Chapter 1 • What’s Project Management Got to Do with IT? APPLYING YOUR KNOWLEDGE Clearly defined project objectives comes in at number four on the list of key success factors. The first three success factors have to do with people—the executives, the users, and the project manager. This is the first factor internal to the project itself that appears on the list and is the most important project-specific aspect. Knowing this will help you get all the stakeholders (anyone impacted by the project or the project’s outcome) aligned with the project’s objectives.
Success Factor 8: Standard Infrastructure The last major success factor we’ll discuss is using standard software infrastructure. Clearly, this applies directly to software development initiatives, but it can also be applied to other IT projects. According to the Standish Group research, 70% of all application code is considered infrastructure, which means that the other 30% is the custom code. Standardizing the infrastructure of the code’s foundation leads to both efficiency and stability in the code.
On the other side, users complain that they are left out of the loop until it’s too late to make any meaningful changes to the project. As a result, both IT staff and users become frustrated. From a user perspective, the IT department often comes in, asks a few questions and months later unveils the new system, application, or solution. There is a better way. We’ll discuss how to turn users into allies rather than opponents later in this book. qxd 8/18/05 3:09 PM Page 11 What’s Project Management Got to Do with IT?
