Chapter 1

Differentiating Enterprise IT Projects

This chapter provides an overview of IT projects, contrasting enterprise IT projects with smaller-scale initiatives like enhancements, production support, and business projects. By identifying unique challenges and human resource requirements, the chapter helps readers understand the strategies and skills necessary for successful IT project execution. It also discusses the importance of tailored technology solutions and how an organisation's unique strategic objectives and operational needs influence technology solutions.

Additionally, the chapter explores the role of process specialists, illustrating how their responsibilities differ between enterprise IT projects and process-focused projects. It demonstrates that the same project can result in different outcomes depending on whether it is approached from an IT or process perspective.
