While there are countless ways for an IT project NOT to live up to expectations, we believe the primary reason for most failed IT initiatives is poor or non - existent project management. At InnerWest TekPartners we feel project management is much more than weekly status reports. To us, project management means understanding all the project stakeholders' requirements and making sure conflicts and ambiguities are dealt with prior to touching keyboards. To us, cost and scheduling decisions should be made based on experience and realities, not budgets and short-cuts. To us, communication is not about just the good news but also the bad. Because we often take complete ownership of all facets of our client's IT initiatives, we have the experience and knowledge to know that successful projects are delivered by way of accomplished project management.
