Tech Project Management - Planning Your Project

Initiating a Project

By Colleen Garton and Erika McCulloch

Editor's Note: This article is excerpted from chapter 3 of Fundamentals of Technology Project Management, by Colleen Garton and Erika McCulloch.

Project management has changed significantly during the past 20 years. What used to be an optional role on projects is now a key role. It is hard to imagine that projects used to be launched with very little documentation or planning involved. Companies wasted huge sums of money working on projects without clear business, or technical, goals and objectives. The projects had little strategic or tactical planning and lacked the focused direction needed for long-term business success.
