Managing large projects and tasks requires experience, knowledge and resources. Organizations initiating Information Technology (IT) projects most often find themselves over budget before the project is completed. Many times, a completed project fails to fulfill the original business requirements of the organization. Project management challenges and failures are often due to lack of proper resources or expertise within an organization. The Chief Information Officers Council recently reported that other challenges faced in the federal sector are a shortage of IT project managers, lack of competency in project management tools and scarce knowledge of federal enterprise architecture and earned value management. Since 2004, the number of project managers in the federal government has steadily decreased and many more will be eligible to retire within the next three years. As a solution, organizations may need to look outside for managing large projects.
