TAC Teleconference: Rationalizing Project Management Methodologies
Tuesday, March 23, 2010 at 4:00 PM EDT

There is no shortage of IT project management methodologies, yet problems with expectations management, cost overruns, late delivery, and inadequate functionality persist in many organizations. How can IT effectively manage real-life projects to ensure success?
Using a real-life case study of a global medical technology company that used a confusing assortment of project management methodologies — with widely varying degrees of success — TAC Expert Mary Ann McIlraith will describe how their shared-services applications-support organization was able to reduce project budgets by as much as 75% while still achieving business-unit objectives. Hot issues to be addressed by this webinar include:
  • How does one ensure that business-unit requirements are accurately reflected in project goals, even as the business situation changes?
  • What training is required to ensure consistency of execution across projects?
  • What tools are most appropriate to support these project management processes?
  • How can such dramatic cost reductions be achieved?
