IT Project Stewardship
Project stewardship, managing change within your information technology project, is an important aspect of overall project management. Don't rely on brief change orders alone to document changes to project scope, changes to roles and responsibilites, and other important changes to your IT project. A sound project stewardship element withnin your project management effort is a strong driver of project success.
