What distinguishes internal IT projects from \u201cgeneral projects\u201d is that changes to the IT environment are usually carried out by the same employees in addition to their daily operations. Thus, they must be \u201csqueezed\u201d into the IT project portfolio.<\/p>\n<p>Other unique aspects affecting IT team leaders and their teams are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The IT environment is very dynamic with carefully timed processes at very brief intervals.<\/li>\n<li>New skills are often required on short notice.<\/li>\n<li>The portfolio tends to include a greater number of small projects and just a few larger ones.<\/li>\n<li>A clear distinction between operations and projects is often lacking.<\/li>\n<li>Very often, IT tasks are managed using agile methods, and this has a major impact on project implementation.<\/li>\n<li>IT is not an end in itself, which is why its costs are almost entirely charged to the departments that benefit from them.<\/li>\n<li>IT employees normally use a task-oriented planning tool or ticket system. For maximum efficiency, this tool or system should be integrated with the project management tool.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5826\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5826\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprojectgroup.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/1_Projects_and_operations.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5826\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theprojectgroup.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/1_Projects_and_operations.png\" alt=\"Internal IT project management \u2013 Parallel projects\" width=\"700\" height=\"295\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theprojectgroup.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/1_Projects_and_operations.png 768w, https:\/\/www.theprojectgroup.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/1_Projects_and_operations-300x127.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5826\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">In the IT field, parallel projects are added to numerous smaller operational tasks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<blockquote><p>Also interesting: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprojectgroup.com\/blog\/en\/microsoft-project-management-tools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Microsoft Project Management Tool<\/a> Overview<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Before discussing possible solutions, however, we would like to share <strong>two important tips for internal IT project management<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<h3>1) Define Clear Criteria for Your Projects<\/h3>\n<p>In many IT departments, the belief prevails that many assignments \u2013 even larger ones \u2013 can be handled in addition to the regular daily operations. In doing so, there is the danger that these assignments will miss their deadlines \u2013 or will not get done at all.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Find out how <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprojectgroup.com\/blog\/en\/agile-resource-planning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">agile resource planning<\/a><\/strong> <strong>can help reduce resource conflicts<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, it is important to decide each time whether an assignment is an operation or in reality a project with all the related processes.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Our tip:<\/strong> Conduct a project-worthiness analysis to determine under what conditions an IT proposal should be handled as a project and define the types of projects.\u00a0Doing this increases your chances of success because the assignments will no longer be handled \u201con the fly.\u201d Classifying something as a project has its advantages: the objectives and roadmap are clearly defined, the necessary resources are allocated, and decisions are made.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n    <p class=\"datamintsbanner\">\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprojectgroup.com\/data\/Downloads_Content_Upgrades\/Project_Worthiness_Analysis_2022_-_TPG_The_Project_Group.xlsx\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"datamintsbanner__link\" title=\"Project Worthiness Analysis TPG Excel Free Template Download\" style=\"display: block;\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theprojectgroup.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/TPG_Banner-Blog_1400_Project-Worthiness-Analysis_EN.jpg\" class=\"datamintsbanner__image\" style=\"display: block; max-width: 100%\">\n        <\/a>\n    <\/p>\n    \n<h3>2) Keep Everyone in Sync<\/h3>\n<p>Agile methodology is very popular in the IT industry. Unlike normal project planning, agile projects involve processes of differing lengths. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprojectgroup.com\/blog\/en\/resource-planning-in-project-management\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Resource management<\/a> is more complicated due to the different durations of the processes. We therefore recommend that you try the following.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Our tip:<\/strong> Try to subdivide your IT project processes into work packages that can be performed according to a fixed schedule of phases.<\/p>\n<p>Allocating a consistent set of resources to each project phase helps ensure that team members are able to seamlessly switch between project work and their normal duties. Doing this will significantly reduce the amount of effort needed to coordinate all the resources.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5827\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5827\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprojectgroup.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/2_Fixed_resources_for_each_phase.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5827 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theprojectgroup.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/2_Fixed_resources_for_each_phase.png\" alt=\"internal IT project management \u2013 Project planning with fixed resources\" width=\"700\" height=\"219\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theprojectgroup.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/2_Fixed_resources_for_each_phase.png 700w, https:\/\/www.theprojectgroup.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/2_Fixed_resources_for_each_phase-300x94.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5827\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">IT project planning with fixed resources allocated to each phase<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<blockquote><p>You might also like: <strong>Comparing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprojectgroup.com\/blog\/en\/agile-project-management-methods\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Project Management Methodologies<\/a><\/strong><strong> \u2013 Agile, Traditional or Hybrid?<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>4 Solutions for Greater Success in IT Projects<\/h2>\n<p>In the following sections, we present solutions for four areas especially critical for heads of IT.

It is not unusual for several hundreds of projects to be handled in one year. This requires a clear strategy, and the projects must be prioritized accordingly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Benefit:<\/strong> The most important criteria in favor of project portfolio management in the IT environment are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Priorities: you ensure that you focus your efforts primarily on the right \u2013 and most important \u2013 projects.<\/li>\n<li>Complete overview: you stay informed on all planned and current projects.<\/li>\n<li>Available resources: you can identify any resources available for initiating and performing additional work on any new projects.<\/li>\n<li>Strategic foresight: you can anticipate what expertise \/ skills will be lacking or insufficiently present in your company and can proactively work to develop these.<\/li>\n<li>Early warning system: you can detect budget \/ resource bottlenecks in a timely manner and can adapt your corporate strategy accordingly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Goal:<\/strong> Ensure that you receive a <strong>prioritized project list<\/strong> and that most of the resources are allocated to the key projects.

After all, they are the ones who will be doing the work to implement the work packages. Project managers are often unable to correctly estimate the time needed to complete a particular task because they are not familiar with the work of these IT specialists.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Benefit:<\/strong> Allowing the employees to participate in work planning has several advantages:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The project manager defines the project\u2019s structure with its work packages, and then the team handling the work plans the individual tasks in these work packages using a tool suitable for them.<\/li>\n<li>The result is not a rough estimate but rather a realistic plan for the project.<\/li>\n<li>This frees up the project manager\u2019s schedule because the details are defined in the task lists of the individual work packages.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Goal:<\/strong> The employees use various tools during the IT project. The goal for individual work planning must be to integrate these systems. Ideally, each individual should work with only ONE tool.<\/p>\n<p>You can achieve this by integrating the employee\u2019s work management tools (such as Jira) with the project manager\u2019s PPM tool (such as Microsoft Project and SharePoint).
