When the business and IT strategies within an organization do not complement and support each other, things can go wrong very quickly.
Key features: International case histories of failed IT projects, from the public and private sectorsExtracts from end-of-project reviewsUnique project "health-check" examination for each stage of the processTroubleshooting chart to identify early warning symptoms and suggest corrective actionA list of 20 essential "lessons," drawn from previous project failuresA summary of popular IT methodologies and their strengths and weaknesses
"Successful IT Project Delivery recognizes that people, not technologies, are the key component of IT projects. Its lessons are addressed to all major project stakeholders: business sponsors, project managers and team members, IT professionals, consultants, and business users.
