Draw a Map Before Starting a Project
The biggest reason why IT projects fail is that they are treated as one-time 'purchases.'
When viewed this way, they become 'all-or-nothing gambles based on intuition,' making it impossible to control project uncertainty. Furthermore, this places excessive pressure on the execution team, further increasing the probability of failure.
To lead projects to success, you must treat IT projects as 'investments.'
Specifically:
1. Outline a strategy to achieve the objectives.
2. Organize an appropriate project team.
3. Proceed with a staged investment plan.
By doing this, rather than relying on a one-time gamble, you can steadily accumulate project achievements.
