RESEARCH REPORT VARIOUS WAYS I.T PROJECTS ARE MONITORED AND CONTROLLED INTRODUCTION Over the years‚ Information Technology (I.T) projects has been known to fail‚ that is‚ they are either completed with over budget or not completed within time and budget. Information Technology projects are often complex and detailed in nature and require cognitive knowledge and skills for its accomplishment. I.T projects are often difficult to estimate and manage as some projects are either cancelled or reduced

R Project Management with PERT/CPM O ne of the most challenging jobs that any manager can take on is the management of a large-scale project that requires coordinating numerous activities throughout the organization. A myriad of details must be considered in planning how to coordinate all these activities‚ in developing a realistic schedule‚ and then in monitoring the progress of the project. Fortunately‚ two closely related operations research techniques‚ PERT (program evaluation and review

PROGRAM EVALUATION AND REVIEW TECHNIQUE (PERT) Category: Planning/ Monitoring - Control ABSTRACT Program (Project) Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT)(G) is a project management tool used to schedule‚ organize‚ and coordinate tasks within a project. It is basically a method to analyze the tasks involved in completing a given project‚ especially the time needed to complete each task‚ and to identify the minimum time needed to complete the total project. PERT planning involves the following steps:

and (2) to assess its capabilities to meet the contractual requirement before bidding. SPSS can also be used by a construction owner to quantify and analyze the risks involved in the schedule. The benefits of the tool to researchers are (1) to solve PERT problems; (2) to complement Monte Carlo simulation by applying the concept of project network modeling and scheduling with probabilistic and stochastic activities via a web based Java Simulation which is operateable over the Internet‚ and (3) to open

to ensure it stays on time and budget. Once implemented‚ Walmart needs to continue to monitor the project for quality and performance. Walmart should use a CPM/PERT system to schedule the project implementation steps and monitor the progress of the implementation and performance of the service (Russell & Taylor‚ 2017‚ p. 374). A CPM/PERT will help Walmart’s project manager keep appraised of the project and give warning when risk or problems arise that could jeopardize the financial viability of
