IT Project Management Essentials: Initiating and Planning IT Projects
by Skillsoft
If you want your IT project to complete successfully, you need to get it off to a good start. During the early stages of a project – the initiating and planning phases – a project manager should clarify objectives and requirements and create a project plan that delineates, among other things, what needs to be done, when it needs to be done, and how much it will likely cost. Although the plan may change as the project progresses, it’s important to get down as much detail as you can at the very beginning. This course describes how to initiate an IT project effectively. It then focuses on three key areas of planning – developing a work breakdown structure, schedule planning, and cost planning.Audience: IT project managers and IT professionals preparing to take on IT project management responsibilities, as well as managers who support IT project managersObjectives: IT Project Management Essentials: Initiating and Planning IT Projects match steps you take when initiating an IT project to examples of how they are carried out sequence examples of the steps in developing a work breakdown structure recognize the benefits of being able to develop an effective work breakdown structure sequence activities for developing a project schedule match project cost estimating techniques to their descriptions Duration: 1 ...

IT Project Management Essentials: Monitoring and Controlling IT Projects
by Skillsoft
The aim of project monitoring and control is to compare actual progress and performance against the project plan. An IT project manager must analyze any variances from the plan and identify what actions may need to be taken. If project managers don't monitor their projects on a regular basis, they won't know which tasks are behind schedule or over budget, or what the issues or risks are. IT projects can be complex, with many variables, and it's important that project managers know, at all times, how the project is progressing and what is causing any slippages. This course describes how to monitor the progress of an IT project, analyze variances from the project plan, and control changes that may be requested during a project's life cycle.Audience: IT project managers and IT professionals preparing to take on IT project management responsibilities, as well as managers who support IT project managersObjectives: IT Project Management Essentials: Monitoring and Controlling IT Projects calculate variances for a given IT project scenario recognize how to analyze variances in an IT project sequence the activities in the change control process for an IT project Duration: 1 ...

IT Project Management Essentials: Testing Deliverables and Closing IT Projects
by Skillsoft
Because it's a significant point in an IT project, the closing phase has its own set of processes and activities. When a project manager carries out those activities and processes, he or she can demonstrate that the project goal has been met and provide the team with a sense of accomplishment. In addition, carrying out the final tasks of a project, particularly the task of archiving documentation, ensures that lessons learned are gathered and stored for the future. An orderly conclusion also helps guarantee that end users' needs and expectations have been met and that stakeholders are satisfied. This course describes the closing activities for IT projects, covering how to test IT project deliverables to make sure they meet requirements, which activities help close an IT project effectively, and how to set up maintenance and support.Audience: IT project managers and IT professionals preparing to take on IT project management responsibilities, as well as managers who support IT project managersObjectives: IT Project Management Essentials: Testing Deliverables and Closing IT Projects match steps in testing IT project deliverables with their activities recognize examples of activities you carry out during the closing phase of an IT project identify the value of carrying out closing activities for an IT project recognize tasks in setting up maintenance and support for completed IT projects Duration: 1 ...

IT Project Management Essentials: Managing Risks in an IT Project
by Skillsoft
IT project managers deal with risks every day, including potential cost overruns, schedule delays, design constraints, hardware defects, and software bugs. Without a plan or process in place to address the possibility of unpredictable and unwanted loss during a project, managers may be dealing with risks reactively, rather than proactively. Potential trouble areas need to be identified early and dealt with quickly and appropriately so a project doesn't go over budget, miss deadlines, or negatively affect an organization's reputation. IT project managers can plan effectively for handling the possibility of negative outcomes by following a risk management process. Such a process can help them monitor and control risks throughout a project's life cycle. This course describes the steps in a risk management process for IT projects – from identifying the risks and documenting them, to analyzing and developing appropriate and effective responses.Audience: IT project managers and IT professionals preparing to take on IT project management responsibilities, as well as managers who support IT project managersObjectives: IT Project Management Essentials: Managing Risks in an IT Project match common sources of risks in an IT project to their examples match tools for identifying risks in an IT project to their descriptions identify effective risk statements for a given IT project recognize how to analyze risks in an IT project match risk response strategies for an IT project to examples that illustrate them Duration: 1 ...
