Introduction (IS Projects)

  • (^) Information System (IS) projects aim at making ongoing activities of institutions and enterprises; - (^) Faster, - (^) More efficient and - (^) More productive by integrating the information technologies into the process.

Introduction (Stakeholders)

  • (^) People that have an interest in a new or existing project, including; - (^) Project team members, - (^) Project sponsors, - (^) Stockholders, - (^) Employees and - (^) The community.

Introduction (Project Manager)

  • (^) A person who;
    • (^) Has a diverse set of skills (e.g. good general skills, technical manegement, conflict man., customer relationship man. and leadership skills), and
    • (^) Responsible for;
      • (^) initiation,
      • (^) planning,
      • (^) executing,
      • (^) controlling,
      • (^) monitoring, and
      • (^) closing down a project.

Introduction (Why?)

  • (^) IS projects are usually undertaken for two reasons; - (^) Solving business problems and - (^) Taking advantage of business opportunities.

IS Project Failures

  • (^) Don’t think that;
    • (^) A project failure only occurs when it is cancelled because of not successfully completing it.
  • (^) A project can be considered as failed when;
    • (^) The project finished over budget,
    • (^) The project did not finish on time,
    • (^) The project did not deliver a system that satisfies the stakeholders expectations,
    • (^) The project did not deliver a system that satisfies its objectives.

IS Project Failures

  • (^) First step:
    • (^) Identify causes of project failures, in order to avoid them.

Causes of project failures

(More Detailed)

  • (^) Lack of executive support:
    • (^) Lack of top management support and organizational commitment
  • (^) Lack of user input:
    • (^) Lack of user participation, user resistant to change, lack of user cooperation, and lack of user commitment

Causes of project failures

(More Detailed)

  • (^) Inexperienced project manager:
    • (^) Lack of leadership skills, project progress not monitored closely, ineffective communication
  • (^) Inexperienced team members:
    • (^) Inadequately trained team members, lack of team member commitment to project, frequent turnover within the team

Causes of project failures

(More Detailed)

  • (^) Ineffective project management:
    • (^) Lack of an effective project management methodology applied throughout the project
  • (^) New software infrastructure:
    • (^) Use of new technology that has not been practiced before, and use of immature and highly complex technologies

Causes of project failures

(More Detailed)

  • (^) Unstable organizational environment:
    • (^) Changes in organizational management during the project, and restructuring organization during the project
  • (^) Unreliable outside suppliers:
    • (^) Dependence on unreliable suppliers and involvement of many external suppliers
