Integrated It Project Management: A Model-Centric Approach : 9781580538282

This book is a compilation ofmyextensive project management, enterprise
architecture, and applications development knowledge, skills, and industry
experiences gained during my 28 years as an information technology (IT)
professional in Canada and the United States. It is not intended to be another
theoretical book on project management. There are many excellent books on
project management concepts and theory, some of which are mentioned in
the selected bibliographies at the end of each chapter. If you are in search of a
book on Project Management 101, Elementary Project Management, then
this is not the book for you. This book assumes a certain level of understanding
of basic project management concepts and theory.

The purpose of this book is to provide my view from an IT industry perspective
as to how to address these issues and the integration imperative by
providing an integrated framework of processes, practices, and real-world
scenarios based my 28 years as an IT professional in Canada and United
States. I compiled these practical experiences into a single comprehensive
volume—this book—in the hope that IT professionals involved in project
management practices will understand and use the components of this integrated
project management framework as a valuable reference guide during
the management and delivery of IT projects.
