This document outlines the key attributes and components of an IT project. It discusses that an IT project must have a clear purpose and defined length with starting and ending dates. It also requires necessary resources like employees and assets, as well as a main sponsor to provide funding and direction. While plans are made, uncertainty can occur and factors like time and cost may change due to unforeseen circumstances. The document also outlines the six main phases of an IT project as planning, analysis, design, construction, testing, and rollout. It notes some important inputs, tools, and outputs involved in IT project management.
IT project management is the process of planning, organizing and delineating responsibility for the completion of an organizations' specific information technology (IT) goals.

CHAPTER 3
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
THE ESSENCE OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT
“First, have a definite, clear practical ideal; a goal, an objective. Second, have the necessary means to achieve your ends; wisdom, money, materials, and methods. Third, adjust all your means to that end.”
—Aristotle, ancient Greek philosopher and scientist
THE BBC DIGITAL MEDIA INITIATIVE
In 2007, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) launched the Digital Media Initiative, an IT project meant to digitize media production and media asset management across the organization. Originally estimated at a cost of £80 million ($128 million), DMI was intended to introduce a tape- less workflow—from raw footage to finished programs—and give BBC staff immediate desktop access to the entire BBC archive. It was predicted that the DMI would save the company 2.5 percent in media production costs per hour, bringing a return of £100 million ($160 million) by 2015. In 2008, the BBC awarded the contract to Siemens, its long-time technology partner; however, that partnership broke down in 2009, with neither company taking direct responsibility for the failure. Rather, the two companies issued a statement saying, “The media environment has changed a great deal since the DMI project began, and both organizations have been in discussions about the way forward. The BBC and Siemens have reached an agreement that allows the BBC to complete the
Chapter 3
project in-house.” DMI was dubbed the “Don’t Mention It” project and delegated to the BBC’s chief
62
technical architect and executive producer.
Once in-house, however, DMI ran into a series of obstacles. Behind schedule, the IT team struggled to get end users to commit to firm project requirements and priorities. “Throughout the project, the team informed me that the biggest single challenge facing the project was the changes to requirements requested by the business,” said the former chief technology officer John Linwood. The result was a constantly fluctuating project scope.
In addition, the technology team sought to adopt an agile development approach, so that the software would be produced bit-by-bit, with the business units exploring each incremental release as it was developed. Linwood claims, however, that the business units did not want to take the time to test the releases. Eventually, the IT team simply developed major system components with minimal business unit testing. Meanwhile, the project was falling further and further behind sched- ule. In addition, the BBC did not assign anyone the responsibility or the authority to oversee the adoption of the program by the business units, depriving the DMI of effective project integration management. Because the transition from tape-based production and asset management to digital production and asset management necessitated a significant shift in work processes, management of the adoption and integration of the DMI into business units was essential.

1. The major factors which are included in the low-stress handling.docxpaynetawnya
1. The major factors which are included in the low-stress handling are the reduction of stressors, which can be of any form as these inculcate fear in the cattle which effects the control mechanism of the cow. The disturbance in control mechanisms yields adverse results such that the cows are mostly underweight, there is a lower milk yield and low conception rates in addition to the sustained diseases.
2. When the cattle are treated aggressively, a lot of problems occur including the bruising of the animals while transferring them, which affects their health which ultimately impacts their productivity.

Weight: 10%
This is an individual assignment. There is an expectation that no two submissions will be the same.
Objectives
This assessment task relates to the following course objectives:
Observe real world information technology problems and apply project management
principles and techniques to solve these problems;
Employ a systems thinking approach to identify critical roles and stakeholders in
information technology projects;
Demonstrate decision-making processes to solve a range of information technology
project issues;
Utilise a range of organisational and self-management skills, emulating real world
practice of information technology project managers.
value the importance of effective communication to solve problems on information
technology projects
Task
During the Project Initiation phase, an important artefact is the Project Charter. This artefact clearly indicates
for the project team and all stakeholders the project objectives, scope and vision. In this assignment, you are
provided with a case study project description below. You will create a Project Charter for this project that
will be managed following the adaptive methodology of Agile Scrum. In a project managed using
traditional project management methodologies, the Charter would be a document of just a few pages (around
4) formally outlining the key objectives, schedule and stakeholders. In an Agile project, this artefact would
be displayed in the project team room.
Background
After top management determines which projects to pursue, then it becomes important to notify the organisation
about the projects. The Project Charter is used to authorise the project and nominate the project manager. The
Project Charter formally recognises the project and provides a summary of the details of the project.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
2. Key Attributes of an IT Project
Purpose
There must be a purpose to justify the need for
a project. Many ideas for the project can be
discovered through company surveys or
questionnaires aimed at determining needs.
3. Key Attributes of an IT Project
Length
An IT project has set beginning and end
dates. The length of the project will
depend on its complexity.
Resources
Resources for an IT project can include
skilled employees from inside or outside
of the company and other assets as
deemed necessary.
4. Key Attributes of an IT Project
Sponsor
There may be many interested parties who
have a stake on the project, but there is
usually only one main sponsor. This main
sponsor provides the needed direction and
financing for the project.
5. Key Attributes of an IT Project
Uncertainty
Every project will face uncertainty. Anything can
go wrong. Although efforts should be made to
ensure that the IT project plan is concise, factors
such as time and cost can change due to
unforeseen circumstances.
KEY ATTRIBUTES ARE AN IMPORTANT ASPECT OF EVERY
PROJECT . KEEPING THIS ATTRIBUTES IN MIND
THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT CAN HELP YOU MEET
ESTABLISHED GOALS.
