Covid, the constantly shrinking world and the need to remain relevant and competitive continues to birth a bounty of ICT related projects in the areas of systems & applications development, Cloud migrations, IT infrastructure upgrades, network refreshment, Digital Transformation, Modern Workplace and Cybersecurity project work.
But who can guide your organisation through the complexity & help manage the change that comes??
As ICT & technology projects such as those represented above come on-line, the need for multi-disciplined PMO organisations and technical project managers only increases. Managing technology projects needs technical expertise, and in particular a project leader who can bridge the gap between the C-Level project sponsors and the engineering teams that do the work.
Application, Infrastructure, & Cloud Projects
Choosing the right project methodology or lifecycle is critical for technology projects, and it’s fair to say that one size does not fit all. For example, an application development project would benefit with an Agile or change-drive approach, whereas a infrastructure refresh would be best handled using a plan-driven or traditional approach. And, there are lots of projects that have elements that might be best handled using a hybrid approach, a blend of plan-drive and change-driven methodologies.
Beyond the methodology, the project manager or project leader must be technical in order to properly manage and decipher the moving parts to the project and to ensure project stakeholders are kept informed, and understand what is happening at any given point. In addition, being able to look ahead, foresee challenges and to manage the risks are all highly important to achieving a successful outcome.
And the importance in helping everyone on the project management team (client side and vendor side) navigate the change that flows from such projects cannot be understated.
In the case of Agile or change-drive projects, the role of the Project Leader, Product Owner, and Scrum Master are critical to success.
