Abstract

This ECAR research bulletin discusses how formal enterprise IT project management can be applied to IT projects when the scope, cost, and external controls put them into a different league from typical internal IT projects. The bulletin describes how the rigor of the formal project management structure can become a model for planning, approval, review, and cost control in similar large IT projects.
