Mastering IT Project Management: Best Practices, Tools and Techniques [Hardcover]

In previous years, setting up IT infrastructure involved just the preparation of the data center. It has become much more complex and evolved today. The infrastructure includes not only the data center facility, but also the entire organization by providing internet connectivity to customers, vendors, and company executives on the move. Mastering IT Project Management is the first book to detail how to create IT infrastructure rather than simply describe how to manage the IT function or software development. This unique and comprehensive reference covers all aspects needed to successfully manage this type of project in an organization.Murali Chemuturi is a project management, information technology and software development subject matter expert, hands-on programmer, author, consultant and trainer.
