Information technology (IT) projects are organizational events, it commits time, money and resources

changes/means for achieving a chosen strategy.
IT projects enable the integration of technology in new products, services or processes that can
change existing relationships between an organization and its customers or suppliers, as well as
among the people within the organization.
1.2 What is a project?
Project: a temporary endeavour undertaken to create a unique product, service or result.
Project manager: the person assigned by the performing organization to lead the team that is
responsible for achieving the project objectives.
Common project attributes
Time frame: Definite beginning and end. A project ends when all the promised work is
completed and the organization’s expectations are met, or it can be terminated when the work
or expectations cannot be met.
Purpose: A project must have a clear goal that defines the value of the project to the
organization. This is important for setting expectations, defining the work to be done, setting
direction for the project team, developing schedule and budget and when complete to evaluate
its overall success.
Ownership: A project can have many stakeholders.
o Projects undertaken within an organization support internal customers. E.g. high-level
manager is often called a sponsor.
o External projects developed by third parties support external customers, called clients.
Resources: Resources provide a means for achieving the project’s goal and completing the work,
they can be a constraint as most organizational resources are limited. Resources include time,
money, people, facilities and technology.
Project Roles: Projects require people with skill sets that include both technical and nontechnical
(soft) skills. Amount technical skills required is determined by the product, service or systems
that is to be built or implemented.
