Software engineering is vital for the proper planning of IT projects, although it is not a formal part of project management. The software engineering embedded in the acquired products will significantly affect long-term project success factors, even for IT projects that primarily involve software acquisition and integration instead of software development,. In this chapter I review software engineering and its relation to IT project management.

It Project Failure

Companies invest significant sums of money in major Information Technology (IT) projects, yet success remains limited. Despite an abundance of IT Project Management (ITPM) resources available to project teams, such as the Project Management Institute (PMI) Body of Knowledge, IT standards and IT governance, a large percentage of IT projects continue to fail and ultimately get scrapped. Recent studies have shown an average of 66% IT project failure rate, with 52% of the projects being cancelled, and 82% being delivered late. The purpose of this research was to provide a way for uncovering potential causes of IT project failures by utilizing a systemic and holistic approach to identify critical success factors for project management. The holistic approach has enabled the development of an ITPM conceptual model, which provides a method to evaluate the critical success factors of a given project, and their alignment with each other. The adoption of the systemic methodology and its implementation increase the potential for IT project success, and alert project leaders of potential problems throughout the life of the project.

Agile Process

Software engineering is comparatively a new addition in the vocabulary of traditional engineering discipline. Being a late joiner, software engineering obtained many of its process foundation from traditional engineering domains. But the ever-changing business needs and the growing complexity that are required to be addressed in a software application, have kept software engineers on their toes to continuously improve the development process to meet and to manage the challenges in it. Agile project management has been the most significant development in IT industry to manage software development process that could deliver quality software product at an extremely high speed compared to any of the predecessor methods. The key abstraction of all the flavors of agile methods is adaptability towards change. This adaptability is achieved by the use of quality practices and practitioners in a closely integrated working environment that also involves the customers in the development process more than ever before. IT industry has acknowledged the significant success of the agile process and has been a buzz-word for a decade in the IT industry. The paper is built upon a comparative study of the application of Agile project management in both IT and non-IT industries. It further discusses the adaptability of agile methods and its potential to benefit the Non-IT industry in managing the quality of deliverables while maintaining high delivery speed. The discussion extends its boundaries to cover the reason for less acceptance of Agile process in non-IT industry and put forth an argument against the suitability of some of the success-factors in the case of non-IT industries, while they enabled a high acceptance of the Agile process in IT-industry.

Estimating and Planning is very important for the success of any project, it is the key factor to its successful conclusion. In software project management there has been a shift from traditional plan management to agile project management. Agile project management has been viewed as the new big change in the software industry. The Project Management Institute (PMI) was founded in 1969 and offers industry-leading certifications for project management professionals. PMI, which was traditionally best known for its traditional project management certifications, has just recently started offering an agile alternative. It can certainly be said that Planning poker is becoming the new standard for software development projects. The concept of it has been around for some time, and although knowledge and usage are increasing. Understanding when to use it and which success factors to consider is important to achieve success.
