Forwarded message from [foxterry@ESUMAIL.EMPORIA.EDU (Terry Fox)] sent originally on Fri, 21 Jan 2000 08:57:22 -0600: : AMCIS 2000 : Americas Conference on Information Systems : Long Beach, California : August 10th - 13th, 2000 : : Call for Papers for the Mini Track : "IT Project Management" : : One result from the Y2K crisis is that many organizations have developed a better understanding of the importance of closely managing IT projects with a limited supply of information resources, particularly when faced with an immovable deadline. Now that the Y2K crisis is essentially behind us, there is a plethora of application requests that needs to be tackled, ranging from upgrades of transaction processing systems to developing strategic information systems that will allow companies to be competitive in today's e-business world. Learning from project management successes as well as failures and applying this knowledge to the backlog of IT projects is imperative if IS organizations expect to accomplish their goals of projects completed on-time, within budget, and which meet user specifications. The purpose of this mini-track is to examine the current state of the project management industry, learn from the past, apply successful techniques to today's projects, and educa! te the project managers of tomorrow. : : Possible Topics may include, but are not limited to, the following: : - case studies (Y2K and others) of project management success or failure : - incorporating project management into the systems development process : - applied project management theory and methodology : - analysis of project management tools and techniques : - risk management : - analysis and design related issues : - critical success factors for an effective project manager : - applications of project management to related disciplines : - curriculum issues related to teaching project management at the undergraduate and graduate levels (e.g., approaches, case scenarios used, etc.) : : Mini Track Co-Chairs : Terry L.
