IT Project Stewardship
Managing change within your information technology project--what we call "project stewardship"--is an important aspect of sound project management. Within any complex or extended technology project, change is inevitable. Changes to project scope, personnel, roles and responsibilities, and other changes. Don't rely on brief change orders alone to document changes within your ongoing project. All project changes need to be harmonized with key provisions of the base contracts for your project, including cost estimates, milestone incentives and penalties, system warranties, and more. A sound project stewardship element as part of your overall project management effort is a strong driver of project success and risk mitigation.
