Tips for managing megaprojects – from Computerworld:
- “Speak the business’s language when defining the problem and recommending solutions.”
- “Be respectful of the work that has been accomplished to date. Employees are proud of the system they’ve built – even when those systems have reached their expiration date.”
- “Consider the impact of an IT transformation on all stakeholders – employees, vendors and partners – and train them accordingly.”
- Encourage IT staffers to speak openly about problems and setbacks. They’ll help identify course corrections and reduce the fear of failure.”
- “communicate through every phase of the project.”
