ABSTRACT
Some estimates from independent organizations dedicated to the education and certification of professionals in project management indicate a very low project success rate. Many early project management processes and tools were created by organizations serving the defense industry, which produced new computing systems as required, unique military vehicles and equipment, and strategic and tactical weapon systems. Information technologies (ITs) were only part of the enterprise infrastructure, generally providing a resource available to management to help them oversee personnel costs and respond more quickly to business transactions. Some career IT professionals will naturally oppose the client's perception of project failure and attempt to provide explanations to sway the client's viewpoint. The scope of information management has changed dramatically, and information technology is probably one of the major strategic weapons used by companies to achieve and maintain a competitive or even a leadership position in the market.
