Causes for IT Project Failure, III
Part 3 of 3
Communication:
We all know the importance of communication. But it is often ignored in a large scale project such as a POS rollout. Project teams can be very busy, yet the executive management sees no progress. It is the Project manager’s job to communicate any progress, if only a little, to his or her executives. By doing so, a project manager will gain much needed support. Nothing good comes from keeping your employer in the dark, even if there is very little to share.
Skills:
Lastly, if you aim to be an IT Project Manager, make sure you are prepared to take on the responsibility. You may be an IT wiz, but remember that project management also requires excellent oversight, organization and communication skills. Finding a qualified IT manager is can be tough, but if a company finds someone with the winning combination who can avoid the problems listed above, there is no reason why a company’s growth should not continue.
