Methodologies and Techniques for Delivery of IT Projects Report

This report provides a detailed analysis of methodologies and techniques for delivering IT projects. It begins by outlining hardware specifications for various computing environments, including non-networked computers, networked computers, and server computers with differing workstation counts. The report then explores Project Management Information Systems (PMIS) suitable for general company use and different industries, including specialized software for a specific company. Furthermore, it includes a comprehensive training plan for company staff, detailing activities, schedules, and evaluation methods. Finally, the report presents a cost estimation for the proposed hardware and software solutions, providing a financial overview of the project's requirements.
