Some common problems with cause the IT projects to fail

The word IT means information technology and the world is full of miracles made possible by information technology. It Different IT projects come up on the scene daily, some get popular and others fail. Generally people do not give a lot of credit to the success of an IT project as it is assumed that IT projects have the best technology involved due to which chances of errors and mistakes are few. But the failure of an IT project is a big question and brings out lots of issues.

However, other organizations have also started practicing project management but the origin of project management is related to IT projects and still project management is being practiced in most of the IT firms. One of the basic reasons for the failure of IT projects is poorly managed project. Project managers are the one responsible for handling the entire project. They are the one to make critical decisions and provide accurate information. If the project managers do not perform their role properly then the IT projects fail.
