Why IT Project Management:

Project Management has been there over the years where professionals have been training on how
to manage projects generally. Based on the trend internationally IT projects are failing in critical
areas such as time, cost, scope and quality basically because most of the IT projects are managed by
managers who do not have the technical expertise. As such they find it hard to blend technology
with project management skills. In this sense, this course will address the issues raised by
integrating software development with Project Management hence the concept of IT Project
Management.
