Abstract

A structured process for developing a project for managing an information technology project includes a series of principal steps, each of which includes one or more substeps. The principal steps may include: (1) assessing the feasibility of the project to determine whether to proceed with the project; (2) performing initial project analysis to determine the project's functional requirements; (3) designing the IT product; (4) building the IT product; (5) testing the IT product; (6) implementing the IT product; and (7) closing-out the IT project, including evaluating the project. A method is also provided for providing, accessing and using the structured process. The method can be implemented using computer technology by storing the information regarding the structured process in a database and using a computer (or network of computers) to access and utilize the information. The computer may include an output device for presenting information regarding the status of the structured process, including an indication of the level of completion of each principal step.
