Great point. If employees do not understand their company’s cultures and strategies. The work they are doing would become non sense and off-tracked.

Thank you for your sharing. You really gave us a lot of detailed information. You break the information into 8 steps and it really helpful for us to understand it. I like what you said about the last step. Because the IT environment keep changing, people should always improve their strategies and polices in order to fit the world.

Business leaders? CEO? honestly they do not care anything about the IT department. Like what you said, the most important for them is ROI. Unless IT department make big problem and make them to pay responsibility.

If I were a member of the IT strategic development team, the first thing I need to do is getting to know the company’s IT strategy, background, and culture. Also try to understand the competitors’ background and culture. Then try to understand how the company’s strategic could be better to get competitive.
The second I should know is what my ro…[Read more] -

Good example. This is really good for me to understand how to make stakeholders to understand why they need a project and what the project would bring to them. If an organization can match their needs to the stakeholders’ needs, then the project would be succeeded easily.

Thank you for your sharing and I agree with your point. I just have one question. What about if the requirements of stakeholders are not match? Like some stakeholders want something but the others really hate it?

Thank you for your sharing. You really gave us a very detailed explanation about what and how to make a project succeed. The first and very important one would be Identifying the stakeholders. It is more like to know who are they and what they actually want.

Thank you for your example. This is a good point. Sometimes some stakeholders are standing in different angles to see a project, and this absolutely would make “unnecessary losses.”

Hi Ami
This is really a great example. Usually stakeholders are all see the projects from their own sides. A project could be reasonable for one stakeholder, but totally does not make sense for another one. This is why sometimes people feel like it could be a good thing to do it but why the other people do not like it and make it failed.

Yeah good point. It is impossible for a new team leader to lead a team that he does not know and the project he does not familiar. Moreover, the team members are all from different departments and they do not want to put the project over their own tasks. It could hurt the project and be a huge risk.

Yeah I agree with you Jing. However, even if Jim makes timeline for the team members. It still hard for them to put the project over their own tasks and roles. It still would be a huge risk.

yes your point is great. If too much departments involved in this project. There would be too much ideas and it will hurt the project and make it failed.

Hi Jing. Thank you for bring great point to us. I totally agree with you. Jim does not familiar with his team members would be a big risk because if he does not know the guys he work with, it would be impossible for him to lead the project. He is the leader, and he cannot lead “strangers”.

yeah I agree with you. Because the team members are all from different department and they all have their own tasks. It is hard for them to put down their own roles and precipitate on this project.

Great points Dongjie, I even did not notice that the financial conflict is also an important risk. If Jim does not plan the budget and get enough money. The project should not be put on the schedule.

The main risk of these I believe would be the scheduling risk. If the team leader cannot have enough time to meet with his team members and the team members do not have time to work with each others. This would be a big problem and even could make the project fail.

The first risk would be the risks to the confidentiality of information. When companies want to outsource their IT project to other companies, whether the outsource companies doing good job or not, our companies need to give the data and every details to the outsource companies. and after the IT project was done. The risk for data breach is always…[Read more]
