The Project Is Dead... Long Live The Project! - The Way to Successfully Handover an IT Project Into Production and How to Avoid Runaway Projects


 

Why did I write this book? It seems to me that a lot of money is wasted in projects that are not well concluded and inadequately handed over to production. Mistakes during the whole project are causing this. Lack of project methodologies, under trained associates and 'hidden agendas' are other typical factors. To give an analogy, an airplane flight doesn't just end for all those on board with the landing. Some of the staff will have additional tasks and duties while others just leave the plane. This has to be kept in mind. Project money is not monopoly money either. It's not your own money, but you have to treat it as if you have been working for it very hard. It's not my intention to give you clear instructions on how to avoid these and other issues. So this is neither a cook book nor a clear working guide to follow, except perhaps the included checklists and form examples. My intention is to show some situations every project is at some time faced with and some ideas on how to avoid them.
