Powerful computer support is vital to the successful execution of projects and the effective management of them. It is very important to schedule and track information technology projects, as these may involve investments in billions of dollars. In the recent past, MS Project has been extensively used as tool for managing the schedules of projects in the field of information technology. It has been used less often to manage other aspects of the project, such as scope, cost and risks. In short, though MS Project is widely used, the full spectrum of its capabilities is rarely exploited. Computer Support for Successful Project Management: Using MS Project 2013 with Information Technology Projects demonstrates how MS Project can be applied to a wide variety of functions vital to the successful execution of a broad range of projects in Information Technology. Although the proposed book is not intended as a ‘how to’ book on Ms Project, it is intended to reveal the full range of the software’s capabilities. The scheduling function is utilized along with the management of scope, time and costs. The examples used for a hands-on workshop will be drawn from the field of information technology. This will help IT managers and students gain an understanding of the software when it is applied to different project management processes, and grasp how the use of MS-Project can be valuable when used to help manage a wide range of IT projects.
