INTRODUCTION
Information technology is the technique which is based upon computer software and used to
perform difficult tasks in less time (Marchewka, 2016). It is very important to be used so as it
facilitates enterprises to carry out operational systematically and reduce time involved in
performing them. It is one of the main elements which are required to be focused by all the
organisations as it can help to complete difficult tasks in less time. Present report is based upon
information technology and covers various topics such as globalisation and technological
innovations, key literature on agile method, list of IT projects etc. Apart from this, key attributes
or skills of a modern project manager and findings of the project are also covered in this
assignment.
MAIN BODY
1. List of globalisation and technological innovations impacting current IT projects
Globalisation can be defined as the force which is reducing barriers for the organisations to
operate business at global level (Globalisation, 2019). On the other hand, various technological
innovations are being introduced in the market which are facilitating entities to perform
operations easily (Piotrowicz and Cuthbertson, 2014). There are various globalisation factors and
technological innovations which are impacting current IT projects. In order to complete all of
them the companies working on them are required to determine all the factors and respond them
systematically. List of some of the factors is as follows:
