Warning!
This book contains easy-to-understand ideas and observations that will change the way you think about the management of any complex task, especially if it involves Information Technology. Avoid reading it if you are satisfied with how your organization puts IT to use or if your IT projects deliver the planned benefits on time and within budget. Put it down and walk slowly away if the packaged software you use is meeting all your needs. At all costs, however, avoid letting consultants making a career out of your simple project see you holding a copy of this book-they won't be happy.
Why is it so hard to gain concrete business benefits from Information Technology (IT)? Why do so many IT projects overrun budgets, miss schedules, and fail to meet expectations? How can your organization ensure the success of its next IT undertaking? This book provides a simple yet profound set of management principles that will completely change the way you think about the management of technology.
Most managers instinctively know that IT projects shouldn't be as complex as they always seem to become. They just don't know what to do to keep it from happening. With the help of this easy-to-understand and nontechnical guide, you can master a unique and proven way to manage IT projects. The name Revolutionizing IT...Effectively, or the RITE Approach, has been given to these simple yet powerful principles that enable you to plan success into every project. Real case histories from both successful and failed IT projects bring each concept to life, and detailed examples illustrate proven methods for putting each principle into action. You'll learn how to:
* Let time determine the scope of your project
* Succeed through continual incremental improvements
* Let projects mimic evolution
* Recycle proven concepts
* Demand progress, not perfection
* Make end users fully accountable
Information technology is a product of science, but using IT effectively to increase efficiency, competitiveness, and profitability is truly an art. Revolutionizing IT gives you the management principles and understanding you need to realize the full potential of your information systems.
