A Framework to succeed IT Project Management in an era of Digital Transformation

Abstract

This article makes a general study of IT project management problems, specifically in an era of digital transformation. The collection of quantitative and qualitative data has been done by means of investigation reports already published in international groups, direct observation in the field (the case of an IT company), and interviews with project managers and different stakeholders during the implementation of IT projects. The results of this study allowed us to identify the key factors of failure of IT projects, which are directly related to the way this specific type of project is managed. Throughout the observation, solutions to each problem were identified, tested, and improved. In order to propose a well-defined framework, for the management of IT projects. This framework is presented in the form of a project lifecycle, defining the different stages of each phase of the IT project lifecycle.
