Project Management for Modern Information Systems: The Effects of the
Internet And Erp on Accounting
project success has been defined too narrowly as simply meeting time and
cost constraints for a given scope of work. However, in order for an IT project
to be completely successful that basic definition of success needs to be
extended to include meeting return on investment expectations, product quality,
stakeholder satisfaction, security, maintainability and adaptability. Also, the
formal methods and tools of the project management discipline need to evolve to
address the changes in modern software engineering and our high-tech global
workplaces. With this broader and more appropriate definition of success, IT
project management techniques and tools can be modernized, extended, and
otherwise focused to be more effective. Project Management for Modern
Information Systems describes and illustrates practices, procedures, methods,
and tools for IT project management that address this extended definition of
project success for modern times.
