Book Description:
Why is it so hard to gain concrete business benefits from Information Technology (IT)? Why do so many IT projects overrun budgets, miss schedules, and fail to meet expectations? How can your organization ensure the success of its next IT undertaking? This book provides a simple yet profound set of management principles that will completely change the way you think about the management of technology.
With the powerful principles in this book, you'll learn how to help ensure your IT projects are successful. With this easy-to-understand, non-technical guide, you can master a unique and proven way to manage IT projects. The RITE approach (explained in this book) incorporates these simple yet powerful principles that will enable you to plan success into every project. Real case histories from both successful and failed IT projects bring each concept to life, and detailed examples illustrate proven methods for putting each principle into action.
Information technology is a product of science, but using IT effectively to increase efficiency, competitiveness, and profitability is truly an art. Revolutionizing IT gives you the management principles and understanding you need to realize the full potential of your information systems.
This book will teach you to:
• Let time determine the scope of your project
• Succeed through continual incremental improvements
• Let projects mimic evolution
• Recycle proven concepts
• Demand progress, not perfection
• Make end users fully accountable
