IT Project Management
Advancing Agile Projects in an IT Environment
Get your PDF guide and explore all course details.
The IT Project Management Course gives technology professionals, project managers, and business analysts a comprehensive, technically grounded understanding of IT project management — covering the IT project lifecycle, requirements engineering, detailed planning, agile and waterfall delivery, team management, risk, earned value management, and the specific considerations that distinguish managing technology projects from other project environments.
IT projects carry unique challenges that generic project management training does not address. Distributed teams, rapidly evolving requirements, the tension between predictive and adaptive delivery approaches, software engineering team dynamics, technical architecture dependencies, and the complexity of measuring value generation in technology contexts all demand specific project management knowledge and discipline.
This course addresses every one of those IT-specific dimensions — from project charter development and requirements elicitation through WBS creation, critical path management, release planning, Agile and Scrum implementation, earned value dashboards, and retrospective learning. Key IT project roles including Product Owner, Business Analyst, Technical Architect, and QA Specialist are examined within each relevant phase.
The IT Project Management Course is built for technology project professionals who want the structured IT-specific project management knowledge to deliver software and technology projects more effectively, whether through waterfall, agile, or hybrid delivery approaches.
The IT Project Management Course is designed to develop comprehensive IT project management capability from project initiation and requirements engineering through planning, execution, agile delivery, and project closure and measurement.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
The IT Project Management Course is designed for technology professionals, project managers, business analysts, and product managers who work in or want to develop structured IT project management capability across software development and technology delivery environments.
This course is suitable for:
The IT Project Management Course is delivered through a structured, IT-specific learning approach that moves from project fundamentals and initiation through requirements engineering, detailed planning, agile execution, and project closure and measurement. Each day addresses a distinct IT project management domain with specific attention to the roles, tools, and challenges unique to technology project environments.
Practical sessions covering requirements elicitation, WBS development, release planning, Scrum application, EVM dashboards, and retrospective learning are integrated throughout, ensuring delegates develop applied IT project management capability alongside conceptual understanding.

Common questions about our training courses
Day 2 covers requirements engineering comprehensively, examining how stakeholders are managed within IT project contexts, how requirements are elicited effectively, what quality factors apply to requirements engineering, and how emergent requirements are managed without allowing uncontrolled scope creep. Delegates also examine the key roles of Product Manager, Product Owner, and Business Analyst within requirements processes — developing the requirements engineering understanding that prevents the misaligned expectations and scope disputes that are among the most common causes of IT project failure.
The limitations of waterfall for software delivery are addressed within Day 4, examining why predictive project management struggles with the uncertainty, evolving requirements, and rapidly changing technical context that characterise most IT projects. Delegates develop an honest understanding of when waterfall remains appropriate and when agile or hybrid approaches are more suited to the project's nature — building the methodology selection judgement that distinguishes IT project managers who understand delivery dynamics from those who apply a single approach regardless of context.
IT project costs and risk management are addressed within Day 4, covering how IT project costs are understood and structured, how software engineering teams are developed and managed, and how uncertainty and risk are addressed within technology project environments where technical risk, integration risk, and requirements volatility create exposure that conventional risk frameworks must be adapted to address. Delegates develop the IT-specific risk awareness to manage technology project risk proactively rather than discovering it during execution.
Day 3 covers detailed planning in depth, examining how software engineering methods inform project planning, how Work Breakdown Structures are built for IT projects, how project schedules are developed using critical path management, and how release plans are established to manage iterative delivery expectations. Delegates also develop QA planning capability, examining how quality is planned, executed, and controlled across the IT project lifecycle — an often-underdeveloped discipline that directly determines software quality outcomes.
Agile software development values, principles, and Scrum adaptive project management are covered within Day 4, examining the Agile manifesto values, iterative delivery principles, and how Scrum provides the framework for organising, executing, and reviewing IT work in adaptive sprint cycles. Delegates develop the conceptual and practical understanding of Scrum to apply it within IT project delivery and to manage the transition from waterfall governance expectations to adaptive delivery realities.
Earned value management is addressed within Day 5, applied through the lens of IT project performance dashboards that communicate schedule and cost performance visually for both project teams and executive stakeholders. Delegates also examine Scrum review-based progress measurement, developing the ability to apply appropriate reporting frameworks to both waterfall and agile IT delivery contexts — producing progress reports that genuinely reflect value generation rather than simply reporting activity completion.
