A thorough understanding of IT Project Management can transform a burned-out team to an empowered high-performance team.
In the era of digital expansion, IT strategies often become a key driver of organizational competitiveness. But these strategies remain dreams without successful delivery of IT projects.
The very nature of Projects in the IT sector brings complex dependencies, vague requirements, lack of clear success criteria, scope creep, delayed timelines, overshooting budgets along-with changing priorities.
Several times the root causes range from inappropriate methodologies (Waterfall, Agile, Hybrid, Scrum, Kanban, Crystal), to a lack of understanding on how to address the growing uncertainty and unique challenges as they navigate through the project lifecycle.

RM Apps**, an IT company was growing its client base. They had already moved to an Agile framework but still struggled with achieving value. Though the team used Agile Terminology and planned in sprints, they found it hard to deliver quality deliverables across each increment.
Some projects especially, the ones with external contracts often struggled with the agility of the approach vs documentation. Though the company had already invested in licenses for Jira software, adoption was quite low and the team struggled with collaboration across multiple platforms for different documents.
At the first stage, the team was trained on how to Scale and customize Agile based on the nature, scale and team-size of the projects aligned with the Crystal Framework method. Further a deeper understanding of the underlying principles, approach, estimation techniques and progress tracking metrics brought transparency and ease to the project. Coupled with a training on using Jira software they had already invested in, the team learnt how to use a single platform to add the Project Charter, export previous excel-based user stories, award story points, develop their own prioritization criteria, product backlog, sprint backlog, track progress on Scrum Board, monitor metrics of their interest like team velocity, use burn-up, burn down charts and resource utilization.
Within the first day of training the team felt greatly empowered understanding how to customize, balance and tailor the Agile Project Management approach for different projects and use effective planning and tracking tools.

DSA* envisioned to be a market leader in the financial sector. The IT team was tasked with several digital transformation projects with clear deadlines and budgets. However, several projects of the delivery team struggled heavily due to unclear and ever-changing scope from the customer side, contractual limitations from the vendor side, estimation challenges and lack of clear progress tracking. The PM team could soon see itself losing its reputation amongst the various stakeholders despite trying to put best efforts.
A review of the projects and practices revealed use of incorrect PM methodologies. Several of these projects were much suited to a Scrum based delivery environment. The team was trained on the Fundamentals of Scrum based Project Management including identifying the right PM methodology for projects, Scrum Roles, Artefacts – Agile Project Charter, Product Backlog, Sprint Backlog, Increments, Estimates, Burn up and Burn down charts, Velocity tracking, User stories, and Scrum Events like Sprint Planning, Daily Scrum, Sprint Review, Sprint Retrospective among others across relevant phases of the project lifecycle.
