ABSTRACT
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers defines a project plan as a document that describes the technical and management approach to be followed for a project. The plan typically describes the work to be done, the resources required, the methods to be used, the procedures to be followed, the schedules to be met, and the way that the project will be organized.

A manager embarking on an information technology (IT) project is faced with the challenge of developing a comprehensive and realistic project plan. In addition, once the project has begun, a manager must monitor progress against the plan and determine what, if any, resource adjustments must be made.

In this talk Dr. Michael P. Stovsky describes the major issues and
challenges associated with managing IT projects.
