IT project management problems

Reliability of software - the main quality of the computer programs - fault tolerance and maintainability of the software of a computer and computer networks.

The fault tolerance is a lack of failures and failures at accomplishment of programs on a computer. Existence of failures and failures - sign of errors and defects in the software.

Acceptance tests - a basis the instrument of confirmation of reliability of programs and lack in them of errors and defects.

Errors in programs - one of the most serious problems in software development and IT project management.

Programming axioms:

1. the number of errors in programs is in advance unknown.
2. duration of debugging of programs it is in advance unknown.
3. the lack of errors in programs is guaranteed by correctness proofs.

Lack of errors in programs - one of the main criteria of quality and reliability of programs.

Identification of errors is carried out by testing of programs for a computer. The care of testing allows to reduce significantly number of errors and to increase qualities and reliability of software.

Guarantees of lack of errors give correctness proofs of algorithms and programs concerning specifications of programs and settings of solvable tasks.

11 steps on extraction of the maximum benefit from the solution on project management

Chief information officers and experienced project managers impart experience at the choice of software and employee involvement methods to its effective use. The best software on management of projects will not help your company to work quicker and more effectively if your employees do not use it or do not want to use. As it is worth selecting the solution on management of projects? We polled dozens of Chief information officers and project managers. Here what they told.

1. Begin with task analysis. "Solutions on management of projects very different. And the first that should be made is to define what of them suits you, - Catherine Brown, the marketing vice president of Mavenlink company, provider of solutions on project management and joint work considers. – For example, all your projects internal or you work with external vendors and clients? Do you need to appoint responsible for tasks and result, or only to create space for joint work? Whether you will work within the project with budgets and accounts?"

1. Pay attention to cloud solutions. "I selected a cloud solution on project management because of several factors, including simplicity of implementation and total ownership cost, - Cyd Haas, the vice president for business development of LKCS company, provider of marketing services says. – We worked with this cloud platform three years and saved tens of thousands of dollars on the solution which we had not to set and support". He also adds that thanks to a cloud service "users can work with a system from where it is convenient to them, from any device, and a system is updated automatically in process of software updating".

1. Убедитесь in what it is easy for software to use. "Find such solution which interface is intuitive, and the functionality – matches tasks of your organization, - John Paine, the president of Ephricon Web Marketing says. – If software does not satisfy to your needs "from a box", then select the solution which has fields for a pereimenovyvaniye under the client. You should have an opportunity to appropriate those names which suit your business, but not to arrange it under software".

1. Select such solution which can be scaled. "Implementing solution on project management in itself quite long process, - Haas says. – Therefore select such solution which will be able to grow together with your tasks and to offer functions of which use you initially also did not think".

1. Listen to wishes of those who will work with this software. "It is important to select it software which will be suitable for your main objectives. The best method reach they are to involve all command in selection process, - Leann Hensli, the president of e2b teknologies, service of provider says business of technologies. – Try to hear wishes of other people and departments as different departments can have different purposes and understanding of what the program should be able to do. It will also help to implement and apply software. If team members feel that they were a part of decision-making, and their needs are met, they will be interested in the project".

1. Make sure that software is integrated by PM with the main applications, for example with e-mail. "One more important selection term – its possibilities of integration, - Brown says. – For example, all use e-mail. Therefore the solution which also sends messages by e-mail will increase the involvement of people into the project and use of a product".

1. Select such product which provides technical support and has many users. "When choosing software select vendor which has a big community of users. If you have questions, you can handle them to other user, for example, through a forum of community", – Joanna Viganovska, the director of Intelligent InSites, provider of the platform of a system of medical care in real time (RTLS) says.

1. Compare several solutions. "Create the list of desirable functions and compare several solutions among themselves, - Brown who notes that many solutions have a possibility of free testing advises. And still – "ask a project team and his manager to estimate the solution too". And if softwares use also external commands (partners, contractors, vendors), ask their opinions too.

1. Think over accurate tasks. "Wonder what I wait from use of this software for? - Mark Kenny, the president of Hippo Solutions, provider of solutions in the field of project management considers. – What do I want from it? Forecasting or reports on the status? Be the instrument of joint work? As soon as you decide on tasks, you will understand how to configure your software how to use it and how to train at it people. Otherwise software will be the ship without wheel".

1. Provide training. "Provide personnel with a training and be convinced that all on it got, - Brown says. – By the end of each occupation be convinced that everyone has an account, the login and the password, easy for storing. Then create the project that employees were trained in departure of messages and investments to them using a system". To be convinced that all of them remembered, repeat training in few weeks and provide employees with available online video lessons (which the vendor or the third company should provide).

1. Make sure that at least one responsible person traces the project in real time. "Do not wait for weekly meetings to understand that your project fails, - the CEO of the company on management of cloud projects warns Eyvin Novogrodski. – One of your project managers should trace problems before they turn into accident. Moreover, the project manager should communicate constantly with a command and be convinced that all her members use this software – and have all latest data on the project"
