Features: There is an ocean of project management books about technology development, but with the ever-increasing rate of project failures, the constraints of available resources on project planning, and the ever-changing systems and platforms, IT managers are forced to shift from developing technology to purchasing technology, thereby transferring the risk to third parties. This book presents compelling, step-by-step strategies and tactics to IT project managers on how to procure the right technology at the right price from the right vendors, as well as how to manage the critical "dynamic" human factors that affect the success or failure of the project. Target Audience: IT managers, project managers, technical staff, corporate executives
