5. Activity Planning and Control

Planning: select a system analysis team, assign members of the team to

appropriate projects, estimate the time required to complete each task,

and schedule the project.

Control: using feedback to monitor the project, including comparing the

plan for the project with its actual evolution.

Page 13: 02 - Project Management

The Causes of Failed Projects

Failure to establish upper-management commitment to the project

Lack of organization’s commitment to the system development methodology

Taking shortcuts through or around the system development methodology

Poor expectations management

Scope creep

Feature creep

Premature commitment to a fixed budget and schedule

The Causes of Failed Projects (cont’d)

Overoptimism

Inadequate people management skills

Failure to adapt to business change

Insufficient resources

Failure to “manage the plan”

Most project managers were not educated or trained

Success IS Projects

The resulting information system is acceptable to the customer

The system is delivered “on time”

The system is delivered “within budget”

The system development process had a minimal impact on ongoing business

operations
