IT project management for the company

For companies, whether they are specialized at the heart of their business in the IT development,or whether they want to manage in-house, as well as outsourcing, their IT projects, or improve their existing tools in order to drive optimization or transformation of their internal processes, IT project management remains a key factor for success.

Training for better IT project management

IT project management is a key business skill. It allows both to improve its internal organization as well as external. Managers know that project management techniques are constantly evolving, especially through the prism of IT. Innovative solutions continue to emerge in the form of advice, tools or training. Today, the need to be competent in this field is complemented by the importance of being efficient. And this, both in business but also towards customers.

Thus, it is possible to take training in IT project management. Whether during the initial training, with many schools on Bordeaux like CESI, ESPI… Or Epitech, or during his professional career. These trainings are useful in preventing the structural costs of conducting projects in-house. But they also make it possible to optimize the project’s unfolding and to accompany it towards full success.

The main objective of this type of training is to enable the overall improvement of project management, in her husband’s time scale, but also of costs, as well as of the reasonably expected quality. In this sense, a rigorous organisation is essential.

IT project management in the face of the digitalisation of the economy

In small structures, one is often tempted to outsource everything, having no in-house skills. In larger structures, the proliferation of subcontractors can lead to management difficulties resulting from delays, additional costs, operating losses due to delays or a misunderstanding of the issues…

In recent years, the acceleration of competition as well as the digitalization of the economy, or the emergence of variables over short cycles has led to the development of new methods of project management, especially IT, such as Agile driving.

Project management methods have evolved in recent years. in the traditional way. IT project management takes place in a “V-cycle. This method allows the project to be staked on a fairly strict schedule. This is to validate all the steps step by step, without going back on steps already validated.

Methods that develop agility

On the other hand, the development of methods known as Scrum or XP has led to the emergence of the Agile method. According to this method, the project is more open and collaborative, divided into several stages that coexist to form a coherent whole, with dedicated teams for each “micro-project”, and an extremely flexible, even reversible schedule.

“On paper” agility is seductive. It seems to be better adapted to the constraints on the ground and to the flexibility needed in a digital world. However, it can quickly lead, paradoxically, to immobility, “one step forward, two steps back”, if it is not scrupulously followed with the help of powerful tools.

As a result, many tools now allow projects to be managed more flexibly, and most importantly, in collaborative mode. This is the case of Tree.io, Collabtive or Redmine, or structures that have recently settled in Bordeaux, such as the software publisher Sciforma.

Beyond IT project management, the training itself can also open up new methods of global optimization of the company. An imperative, in a context of digital transformation as a pandemic…
