For the past twenty years, reports of high profile government IT project failures have been anything but uncommon. The problem only gets worse as IT use in government expands and the number of IT projects grows. For example, the U.S. federal budget for fiscal year 2006 includes 1,087 IT projects, totaling about $65 billion. Of this project toal, the Office of Management and Budget identified 342 projects representing about $15 billion that are on the management watch list -- indicating concerns over risk, quality or performance.

Key issues:

  • What are the most important factors influencing success in government IT projects today?
  • How can project risk, cost and performance factors be managed more effectively in government IT projects?
  • What are the five key actions that government project managers and their service providers can take now to reduce IT project risk, better manage costs and improve performance?

"We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it - and stop there; lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again, and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore."
- Mark Twain
