“Plan Your Next Big IT Project the Right Way” on Adept Networks, May 10, 20
Establish a Project Charter that Includes Objectives
Creating a project charter before beginning work on an IT project is vital. The charter provides details on scope, timelines, and resources. But most important, it lays forth the project’s main objectives. Be sure you and your team are certain that those assumed objectives are the right ones for your business.
Objectives make clear the following questions as it pertains to your IT project: What do you want and why do you want it? says Alan Zucker, Founding Principal of Project Management Essentials, who has over two decades of experience managing projects in Fortune 100 companies.
“Scope is the ‘how are we going to deliver it,'” Zucker adds
Having a clear understanding of your IT project objectives is critical to your success.
