TRACK: IT Strategy and Management

MINITRACK: IT Project Management



MINITRACK DESCRIPTION

Unfortunately, information technology (IT) projects have become
notorious for high failure rates or having significant cost or budget
overruns. Both research and anecdotal evidence suggests that many IT
projects struggle to meet functionality and quality targets. Research
has identified multiple reasons for these challenges in IT projects,
such as: project escalation, poor risk management, failure to manage
user expectations, poor software development or project management
processes, or inability to learn from past mistakes and successes. As
a research community, there is still much to be learned and discussed
about improving success rates for IT projects.



RESEARCH COVERAGE

The IT Project Management mini-track solicits research that focuses on
many traditional IS/IT project management areas, including, but not
limited to:
