*Introduction*
Economic conditions demand that Information Technologies (IT) deliver
ever more business value. Today, information technology plays a more and
more important role in project management. The scope and complexity of
IT projects has increased, requiring excellent project management to
fully realize the benefits of IT. Unfortunately, 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. It is believed
that there is still much to be learned and discussed about improving
success rates for IT projects. This book intends to provide a systematic
synthesis of the latest research findings and professional experience on
modern techniques for successful IT project management.

*Objective of the Book*
This book brings together the latest academic research and professional
practice, covering aspects related to modern techniques for successful
IT project management. It will introduce modern techniques that are
already contributing to IT project management. It will be valuable to
academics and practitioners who want to improve their understanding of
IT project management in terms of modern techniques. This book is
expected to be a significant compilation of high quality chapters, aimed
at advancing peoples’ understanding of IT project management.

*Target Audience*
The target audience of this book will be composed of researchers and
professionals working in the fields of project management, information
systems, and IT project management. Moreover, the book will provide
