Abstract

Even though Information Technology (IT) software development projects exhibit a checkered history of poor scheduling and late delivery, emerging project traits are promoting successful implementation and reduced risk of failure. IT project management, requirements gathering and management, user involvement, organizational alignment, development methodology, quality assurance and testing process maturity are integrating together to create a culture of rising success and efficient project implementation. Organization alignment, project management, business and technology architectures, and organizational change management domains are integrated into a successful software development framework.
