How to nail a tricky IT project
- Stick to the schedule
- Resist changes to the project scope
- Break the project into discrete modules
- Assemble the right team, including IT experts, outside experts and vendors
- Prevent turnover among team members
- Frame the initiative as a business endeavor, not a technical one
- Focus on a single target, e.g. "readiness to go live", measuring every activity against it
