Applying Project Management to IT
Review articles (you can search other links as well) about the Queensland vs. IBM software implementation and prepare a 5-8 page case study from the point of view of either Queensland or IBM. Answer the following questions:
- What occurred on the Queensland Payroll Implementation that should not have? - How did the budget expand so greatly and so quickly? - Did this project failure the fault of IBM or Queensland? - What role did the project managers from IBM and Queensland play in the failure of this project?
- What actions would you have recommended 1) prior to contract signature with IBM; 2) before requesting additional budget from Queensland; and 3) after the lawsuit was announced?
- Should Queensland have attempted to implement the software on its own? Why or why not?
