Project management involves the five
basics: Planning, Organizing, Staffing, Directing, and Controlling
 | Planning: Develop a
comprehensive IT strategy. Define major systems and data models and define tasks
schedules and budgets. |
| Organizing: Define major
functions to be performed and group staff around functions. (See Organizational Evolution) |
| Staffing: Recruit only the
highest skill level, pay as much as possible, and expect staff to routinely perform the
impossible. (Ultimately, this is the least expensive option.) |
| Directing: Make clear
assignments and expect high performance. |
| Controlling: Use a range
of tools, such as network schedules, Gantt Charts, and status reports based on plans to
insure progress. |
