Information technology project management

Abstract

In this publication the author tries to demonstrate and analyse the relationship between the ideology ("pure" theory), and theoretical (but resulting from practical experience) and commercial methodologies of IT projects' management. The author also seeks to answer the question: whether, how, why and in what ways the development of IT systems supporting management and their multi-dimensional integration took place. The cognitive aim was:-the analysis of the basis needed to understand the project and the process as well as the differences and similarities in managing them, This book is a monograph intended not only for academic instructors and students of computer science for economics. The publication should be interesting to both professional and non-professional readers, also those from non-academic circles. This book may be a valuable source of knowledge and an ideological guide in the daily work for the business people involved in project management.

Projekty przecież są definiowane jako przedsięwzięcia unikalne, jednorazowe, wymagające odpowiedniego przygotowania, podczas gdy procesy są powtarzalne i mogą podlegać automatyzacji lub stawać się działaniami rutynowymi [Chmielarz, 2015;Appelo 2016].…”

“…Paradoks, jaki z tego wynika, polega na tym, że zarządzanie projektami coraz bardziej zbliża się do metodyk zarządzania procesami, dąży bowiem do operowania standardowymi regułami rozwiązywania niestandardowych problemów, które stara się za pomocą specyficznych metod i technik zestandaryzować (czyli zamienić w procesy) przez daleko idącą formalizację [Chmielarz, 2015].

An Overview of Project Management

“…The project management role involves the specification of task conditions, the assessment of the work extent, the distribution of resources needed, the preparation, tracking work progress, and correction of discrepancies from the schedule.
