Description
This book is about information systems development failures and how to avoid them.
It considers what goes wrong with information systems
development projects and what actions may be taken to avoid potential difficulties.The reduction of the impact,or even the elimination
of the problems,is discussed in terms of an information systems risk management programme.
Stop I.T.Project failure helps to ensure
that IS project managers are successful in helping to deliver application systems. However, IS development risk can never be entirely
eliminated and consequently the practitioner needs to bear in mind that an IS development project is never without risk, and hence there
is a continuing potential for something to go wrong.
The book covers the key issues and variables and makes specific practical suggestions
about the good management practice that is required to implement IS project risk processes.
