Methods of IT project management [electronic resource] / by Jeffrey L. Brewer, PMP and Kevin C. Dittman.

2024-05-15T13:57:09Z

by Brewer, Jeffrey L.
Call Number 004.0684 23
Publication Date 2013
Summary Designed for graduate, advanced undergraduate, and practitioner project management courses with an information technology focus, Methods of IT Project Management is built around the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK). The text provides students with all of the concepts, techniques, and methods found in the leading project management reference books, while also conveying practical knowledge that can immediately be applied in real-world settings. Unlike other books in this field, the material is organized according to the sequence of the project management life cycle from initial overview, through initiation, execution, and control, to close out. Following this life cycle, as opposed to covering the material by knowledge area, allows students to simultaneously learn project management concepts and methods at the same time as they develop skills they can use immediately during and upon completion of the course. The Project Management Professional (PMP) certification issued by the Project Management Institute (PMI) is the world{u2019}s leading certification in this field. To help students prepare, the authors have dedicated an appendix to practice study questions and give helpful advice on preparing for and passing the PMP exam. At the end of each chapter, the text provides one or more mini-cases based on the theme of a running case study that extends through the entire book. The mini-cases provide additional opportunities for students to apply project management concepts and techniques, and they are ideal for stimulating class discussions and debates. In addition, these cases also present thought-provoking scenarios to challenge the more advanced student.

Architecture and patterns for IT service management, resource planning, and governance : making shoes for the cobbler's children / Charles T. Betz.

2024-05-15T13:57:09Z

by Betz, Charles T.
Call Number 004 22
Publication Date 2007
Summary How would you feel if you visited your financial planners office and saw past-due credit card notices on their desk? Would you trust an auto mechanic whose car backfires and produces black smoke? A dentist with bad teeth? A banker in shabby clothes? An interior designer whose offices are a shambles? This is the position of the IT capability in many large organizations. The designated custodian of critical business processes and data does not manage its own processes and data reliably. A response in the form of Enterprise Resource Planning for Information Technology is emerging from major companies, research firms, and vendors; they are labeling these offerings "ERP for IT," IT Resource Planning, and related terms. This groundbreaking, practitioner-authored book provides an independent examination of and response to these developments. An analysis of the large scale IT capability, with specific attention to business processes, structured data, and enabling systems, it is essentially a comprehensive systems architecture, not for the business capabilities IT supports, but for IT itself. Features The book presents on-the-ground coverage of enabling IT governance in architectural detail, which you can use to define a strategy and start executing. It fills the gap between high-level guidance on IT governance, and detailed discussions about specific vendor technologies. It is a next-step book that answers the question: OK, we need to improve the way we run IT now what? It does this through: * A unique value chain approach to integrating the COBIT, ITIL, and CMM frameworks into a coherent, unified whole * A field-tested, detailed conceptual information model with definitions and usage scenarios, mapped to both the process and system architectures * Analysis of current system types in the IT governance and enablement domains: integration opportunities, challenges, and evolutionary trends * Patterns for integrating the process, data, and systems views to support specific problems of IT management. * Specific attention throughout to issues of building a business case and real-world implementation. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Charles Betz is a Senior Enterprise Architect, and chief architect for IT Service Management strategy for a US-based Fortune 50 enterprise. He has held consultant and architect positions for Best Buy, Target, and Accenture, specializing in metadata, configuration management, IT governance, enterprise application integration, and ERP systems. He holds a summa B.A. in Political Science and a Master of Science in Software Engineering, both from the University of Minnesota. Charlie is an active member of the professional community, belonging to the IT Service Management Forum, IEEE, ACM, and Data Management Association (DAMA). He presents frequently both locally and nationally to professional associations and conferences. He is the sole author of the popular www.erp4it.com weblog. Are you in the thick of sorting out how to make ITIL and COBIT work, and trying to make sense of the dozens of vendors clamoring to help? Are you puzzled over how the ITIL vision for Change Management fits into the reality of your current processes? And how it relates to Enterprise Architecture and Portfolio Management? Is the concept of configuration management and the CMDB giving off more heat than light for you? How can you make it real? Have you found yourself wondering whether you really need an IT portfolio management tool, an enterprise architecture repository, a metadata repository, a service management tool, and a configuration management database (CMDB)? And if you have them, are you wondering if they should be related somehow? The book presents on-the-ground coverage of enabling IT governance in architectural detail, which you can use to define a strategy and start executing. It fills the gap between high-level guidance on IT governance, and detailed discussions about specific vendor technologies. It is a next-step book that answers the question: OK, we need to improve the way we run IT - now what? It does this through: * A unique value chain approach to integrating the COBIT, ITIL, and CMM frameworks into a coherent, unified whole * A field-tested, detailed conceptual information model with definitions and usage scenarios, mapped to both the process and system architectures * Analysis of current system types in the IT governance and enablement domains: integration opportunities, challenges, and evolutionary trends * Patterns for integrating the process, data, and systems views to support specific problems of IT management. * Specific attention throughout to issues of building a business case and real-world implementation. Among the specific topics addressed are: * ITIL recommendations from a practical systems implementation point of view * Configuration management: challenges, misconceptions, myths, and realities. Business justification for. Support for compliance and regulatory goals. * Interrelationships between IT portfolio planning, solutions development, and IT operations * The relationship between application development and hosting (infrastructure) organizations * Business intelligence, performance management, and metrics for the IT capability itself * Detailed, actionable clarification of the vague concept of "IT Service" and all its permutations and implications * IT portfolio degradation through complexity * Detailed models of IT information * The various classes of systems used internally by large scale IT organizations * The concept of "repository" and its relationship to the Configuration Management Database (CMDB) * Process roles and responsibilities. Closed-loop, self-reinforcing processes for IT data management. * Application as critical control point and portfolio entry. Clarifying relationship between "application" and "IT service." Application portfolio management: process, data structures, and systems.

Summary Most of the large economies in the world are already dominated by services. Developed countries are now also becoming information economies; the US is a case in point. The confluence of these trends means that information services are the largest part of the US and other developed economies, with others close behind. This evolution is being accompanied by a revolution: the rapid industrialization of information services. These developments have manifold consequences for the economy as a whole, as well as for productivity, trade, jobs, globalization and competition. At the sector level, many industries are undergoing massive changes in structure. There are also significant implications for management strategies and internal organizational structure for all firms. The Business and Information Technologies (BIT) project at UCLA Anderson is a global effort to track and assess these changes through GNP studies, surveys of business practice, and studies of key industry sectors.

The dark cloud : how the digital world is costing the Earth / Guillaume Pitron ; translated by Bianca Jacobsohn.

by Pitron, Guillaume, author.
Call Number 338.927 PIT
Publication Date 2023
Summary A gripping new investigation into the underbelly of digital technology, which reveals not only how costly the virtual world is, but how damaging it is to the environment. A simple 'like' sent from our smartphones mobilises what will soon constitute the largest infrastructure built by man. This small notification, crossing the seven operating layers of the Internet, travels around the world, using submarine cables, telephone antennas, and data centres, going as far as the Arctic Circle. It turns out that the 'dematerialised' digital world, essential for communicating, working, and consuming, is much more tangible than we would like to believe. Today, it absorbs 10 per cent of the world's electricity and represents nearly 4 per cent of the planet's carbon dioxide emissions. We are struggling to understand these impacts, as they are obscured to us in the mirage of 'the cloud'. Some telling numbers- If digital technology were a country, it would be the third-highest consumer of electricity behind China and the United States. An email with a large attachment consumes as much energy as a lightbulb left on for one hour. Every year, streaming technology generates as much greenhouse gas as Spain - close to 1 per cent of global emissions. One Google search uses as much electricity as a lightbulb left on for 35 minutes. All of humanity produces five exabytes of data per day, equivalent to what we consumed from the very beginnings of the internet to 2003 - an amount that would fill 10 million Blu-ray discs which, piled up, would be as high as the Eiffel Tower. At a time of the deployment of 5G, connected cars, and artificial intelligence, The Dark Cloud, the result of an investigation carried out over two years on four continents, reveals the anatomy of a technology that is virtual only in name. Under the guise of limiting the impact of humans on the planet, is already asserting itself as one of the major environmental challenges of the twenty-first century. 'Guillaume Pitron recalls the origins of digital technology and explains how this new communication tool has catastrophic consequences on our environment ... What happens when you send an email? What is the geography of clicks? What ecological and geopolitical challenges do they bring without our knowledge? This is the subject of The Dark Cloud ... For two years, the journalist followed, on four continents, the route of our emails, our likes and our vacation photos.' -Margherita Nasi, Le Monde 'It reveals the environmental cost of a dematerialised sector. Between the strategies of the giants who keep us in the illusion of a clean Internet and the difficulty of feeling pollution that has no taste or smell, the investigator reveals the underside of the Internet.' -Marina Fabre, Novethic Praise for The Rare Metals War- ' E xposes the dirty underpinnings of clean technologies in a debut that raises valid questions about energy extraction.' -Publishers Weekly.
