Project Management Presentation
Overview
For this assignment, you will demonstrate your knowledge of the
role of project management in information systems and why it is such an
important component.
Imagine you are currently working in an information systems field
at a small company in which projects have been typically managed by the
senior employee working on them without any real plan or specific
direction, and each employee has a very different style of management
(or lack thereof). The company has recently considered improving in this
area and might even consider hiring a project manager or adopting some
kind of software or process for managing the project it takes on. There
is obviously a need for change, but not everyone is on board.
In an effort to help everyone see the value of project management
improvements, you have been asked to create a presentation on why the
company might need a more formalized process for project management. You
will need to explain what project management really and why it is such a
significant part of information systems work. You will also need to
make some recommendations on what types of project management strategies
the company might want to adopt.
