What Is IT Project Management?
IT project management is the process of planning and overseeing an organization’s information technology projects. IT projects can involve a wide range of technologies and IT strategies, including software development, networking, communications, hardware, and more. Project managers help develop and implement IT projects to ensure timely, successful completion.

Components of Successful IT Project Management
IT project managers typically break complex projects into five key phases. Each phase includes different milestones that help drive the project’s lifecycle forward. These phases include:
- Initiation - Determine the project’s scope, objectives, and feasibility and create a project proposal.
- Planning - Allocate resources, identify risks, and develop a detailed plan outlining tasks, milestones, and timelines.
- Execution - Set project deliverables, delegate tasks, and keep communication open.
- Monitoring - Track and monitor progress to evaluate whether the project is on track with the project proposal and outlined goals.
- Closure - Review project outcomes and document lessons learned for future projects.
IT Project Management Benefits
Working with an IT project manager can ensure your business’s technology projects are set up for success from the start. A project manager can provide well-defined goals and objectives to keep every team member aligned with the project's purpose. They also prioritize strategic planning and open communication to reduce miscommunications and allocate resources efficiently.
IT project managers also identify potential risks and create strategies to mitigate them, reducing the likelihood of negative impacts on your project's progress. And because IT projects can evolve due to changing business needs or unexpected developments, project managers can offer expertise to accommodate these changes and put the project back on track.
