Unit 9 – IT Project Management (Learning Aim A)


Unit Introduction: In this unit, I will be investigating the principles of different project
management methodologies, as used in the IT industry. Secondly, I will be delivering a
successful IT project by using and discovering at least three different project methodologies
and by knowing the five main stages of a project. Also, I will be initiating this IT project further
by researching a problem and then using my creative skills to generate extensive range of
solutions. Finally, I will evaluate my progress and reflect on my project management skills

In the first part of this project I will research a range of different methodologies: PRINCE2,
RAD and the waterfall methodology I will also use examples of organisations and businesses
who use these methodologies as project management tools.


Projects IN Controlled Environments (PRINCE2)


PRINCE2 – A Brief History


The history of PRINCE2 is that it was established away back in 1989 by the Central laptop and
Telecommunications (CCTA). In 2010, which methodology was implemented by the cabinet
and it was recognised as a suitable methodology to be used for government projects.


PRINCE2 was formalised by the UK government back in 1975, it was inspired by the private
sector. Simpact Systems developed PROMPT (Project Resource Organisation Management
and Planning Techniques) was developed because projects kept running over on both time
and budget. PRINCE2 was implemented to stop this from happening.

PRINCE2 had six main phases:


 Initiation
 Specification
 Design
 Development
 Installation
