IT Project Management: Delivering successful IT projects

Description

What are the skills and capabilities required to succeed as an IT project manager?

The evidence suggests that the success rate for IT projects is poor  - more than half of projects are challenged in some aspect, whether in terms of cost, time or the quality of what is delivered.

Outstanding IT project managers understand that, in the real world, successful IT projects isn't just about crafting a project plan - it's about assessing the ROI of projects, defining a clear scope, estimating in a rational manner, building a high-performance team, managing stakeholder expectations, and more.
