  • Agile Risk Management
  • Higher risk aspects of project are completed first
  • Agile Quality Management
  • Quality assessed after each iteration

Summary

  • Project management is an important and challenging career role. Information systems projects do not have a great success rate, and project management knowledge and skills are valued and needed to improve this record.
  • Project management is directing other people to achieve a planned result on schedule and on budget. Project managers have internal and external responsibilities.
  • Project managers work with clients, who fund the project, an oversight committee which approves and reviews progress, and users who will directly interact with the system.
  • The discipline of project management is organized into the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) that includes nine knowledge areas. Project managers should study and digest this body of knowledge.
  • The SDLC in this text includes two Core Processes that involve the project manager: 1) Identify the problem and obtain approval and 2) Plan and monitor the project.
