Pay attention to control points in IT Project Management

According to the survey, only 37% of IT projects are completed within the planned time, and 42% are completed within the budget. The root cause of low IT project success rate is that IT project management is a system project, which requires the project manager to have certain organizational, decision-making, communication, business, and technical capabilities, it is also necessary to strictly control the time, cost, quality and risk of the project by using multiple means. How can we improve the IT project success rate?
Key Control Point-1 Project Time Control
First, it is necessary to clarify the project expectations, do a good job of demand research, and formulate feasible project objectives around the company's core business processes. This goal cannot be ambitious and comprehensive, the purpose is to meet the requirements of the core business process. Content that has little or no relationship with the core business process will be delayed or will not be built at all, focus business expectations on goals that are easier to control and quantify. Project implementation is fully centered on this expectation, which is also the most important point in project implementation.
Secondly, information projects are system projects that require full collaboration among multiple departments and links. Delays in any department or link will prolong the entire project implementation cycle. Therefore, efforts should be made to tackle the "short board" that affects the project progress, so as to promote consistency with other aspects of the project and work together to effectively ensure the implementation cycle of the project.
Once again, information-based projects often have a long cycle. Therefore, we need to develop "daily and daily high (?)" for the project implementation stage (?)" Project time assurance mechanism to ensure that the project has a clear goal every day, in order to effectively control the project progress.
Finally, because of the wide scope of information projects, the large number of participants, the varying quality of personnel, and different project grasp, therefore, before the project starts, participants and even senior management personnel should be trained on Project popularity, and relevant project training should be conducted on the project ...... As the saying goes, it is necessary to sharpen the power of each participant to effectively improve the project implementation efficiency and ensure the project implementation cycle.
Key Control Point 2 project cost control
First, information projects are the application of IT technology in enterprise business. Their development and implementation are based on the project requirements put forward by the business department. However, due to the long time of project development and implementation, this often happens. After the system development is completed, the business needs have changed, and the project has to be re-developed. The main factors that affect the project cost.
The reason for this situation is that the project team did not have in-depth research in the early stage and did not fully grasp the development direction of the real needs and needs of the business department, the business department has a deeper understanding of the application of the project in the business. To control the increase in costs due to changes in demand, the project manager should not only conduct more in-depth project research in the early stage of the project, but also increase the training of business personnel, let them have a deeper understanding of the project before the project application.
Second, in the project implementation process, various business-related application requirements come together. The increasing project requirements will increase the project budget, this forms another important factor that affects project costs. In this case, the project manager should treat the problem differently. If it is necessary to help implement the expected project and improve the project implementation effect, this requirement should be adopted even if it affects the cost of the project and the implementation cycle of the project. This is a useful supplement to the project. If the requirement has little or no relationship with the project expectation, then, we should resolutely abandon it.
