Information systems are usually developed in projects. Most tasks and activities discussed in the previous chapters take place within these projects. These projects must be planned, carried out, monitored and evaluated. Project management is the framework in which the planning, execution and controlling of projects occur.
Managing projects properly is of utmost importance. As mentioned in chapter 2, industry surveys report that only about 30 % of all application- software development projects are considered successful [Standish 2004]. Close to 20 % are failures (cancelled prior to completion or completed but never used), and the remaining 50 % are challenged (cost and/or time overrun, lacking features etc.).
In this chapter, we will first discuss project management issues in general and then with a special focus on information systems development. Although many project characteristics are the same, information system development exhibits particular properties.
