IT Project managers are in unique situations. Often times, you are brought in because the person in charge of managing the project was not doing a good job in the first place – otherwise, why hire you? This generally means that processes and tasks needed to make the project run smoothly are not in place. It is important that before you undertake managing an IT project, that you clearly define the project requirements. Having a contract that clearly states the details of the job will help you out in the long run. You won’t have to worry about the client making last second changes, moving deadlines, etc. because you have it all in writing!
