Résumé

The rate of failure of IT projects has remained little changed in survey after survey over the past 15-20 years-over 40-50%. This has happened in spite of new technology, innovative methods and tools, and different management methods. One reason for this alarming lack of change is that many think of each IT effort as unique. In reality, many IT projects are very similar at a high, strategic level. Where they differ is in the people, exact events, and other variable details.

In Risk Management for IT Projects, IT Management experts Ben Lientz and Lee Larssen show you how to identify and track the recurring issues leading to failure in IT projects and provide a proven, modern method for addressing them. By following the recommendations in this book, readers will significantly reduce the risk of IT failures and increase the rate of success.

While offering a systematic approach to managing risk and issues, Lientz and Larssen demonstrate:

How the issue arises and with what frequency
What the impacts of the issue are if it does occur
How to detect specific issues at an early stage
How to prevent individual issues from occurring
Detailed actions to take if an issue does arise
