Project Management for Information Technology Projects

IT projects fail less often because of code and more often because of scope that keeps moving and stakeholders who discover requirements only once they see a demo. This course applies project management discipline to software, systems and infrastructure projects, covering requirements management, vendor coordination, testing phases and go live planning within typical South African IT delivery environments.
