Introduction
I have worked as a project manager for creating work plans for IT implementation in an
IT organization which was in California, United States. This project was an essential one in the
case of mitigating the risks in IT organization and it was to produce the deliverable advantages to
entire branches of IT organization. The creation of work plans for IT implementation was to
execute the process improvement throughout the life of process improvements in this project.
This paper introduces about project management and the importance of project management to
business world. The project management was the discipline of motivating, organizing, and
controlling the resources for the achievement of specific IT organizational goals.
This paper also details the project life-cycle of creating the work plans for IT
implementation and the project life cycle of IT implementation included the initiating, planning,
executing, monitoring, and closing plans for IT implementation. The creation of IT
implementation included the stakeholder analysis, project charter, scope statement, approach
analysis for the implementation of work plans in IT organization. These were also considered to
be the benefits of project life cycle for the implementation of work plans for an IT organization.
The concepts of planning in project life cycle were an essential one for the success of
implementing work plans in IT organization. IT organization work plans needed concept,
development, implementation, and close-out for the creation of work plans. This paper included
the IT project organization and importance of leadership and sponsorship for the creation of
work plan in IT organization. The leadership and sponsorship were considered to be the vehicles
of positive and negative changes in IT organization. The leadership and sponsorship also
determined the success and failure of IT organization (Albert Lester, 2007).

This paper evaluates the process of project team building, such as techniques of success
team building. The project team was an essential group for the execution of IT organizational
tasks for meeting the customer requirements. The project team building included the resource
planning for the success of IT organizational work plans. The project work resource plan in IT
organization identified the work for the completion of IT goals and objectives. The project team
building process needed the skills, level of influence, network access, effective participation, and
ability of team environment for the creation of IT organizational work plans.
This project also examines the creation of work breakdown structure and how a project
manager breaks down the overall project into packages in IT organization. The work breakdown
formed the basis of IT organization and the coordination of team building in the IT project. This
paper concludes the details of project management software which had a capacity for helping
plan, manage, organize, and develop resource estimates. The project manager created the work
plans for IT implementation by planning, cost controlling, resource allocation, and decision
making.
Main Topic of Project Management
Project management to business world
The project management was the discipline of planning, motivating, managing,
controlling the IT organizational resource of specific goals and IT project had undertaken for
meeting the unique objectives and goals. The creation of work plans for the implementation of
information technology was an IT project which could benefit modifications and values. The
development of distinct technical skills and IT management strategies were helpful for the
implementation of Information Technology organizational work place.

The initiating process of this project could determine the scope of project in IT
organization. The creation of work plan in implementing IT process was based upon initiation of
project and this could decide success and failure of IT organizational work plans. The key project
control created the business environment in IT organization for the creation of work plans. The
initiating process of this project analyzed the work plans and requirements of IT organization and
the initiating process reviewed the current IT organizational operations. The financial analysis of
cost could also decide the effectiveness of work plans of IT organization and the stakeholder
analysis provided support for the creation of work plans in IT organization.
The planning and design were also considered to be the tools of project management
which were essential to the business world. This tools determined scope statement for creating
the work plans of IT organizational implementation. The planning and design included the
selection of planning team, identification of deliverable for IT work place implementation,
estimation of resource activities in IT organization. The execution process was also important to
business world by directing the project execution, acquiring the project team, distributing project
information.
Monitoring and controlling were also considered to be the project tools for the creation of
IT work plans. This project process observed the potential problems for creating the work plans
without any interruption in IT organization. This process measured the ongoing project activities
in creating the work plans, monitoring the project variables including effort, scope, and cost,
identifying the corrective actions for work plans of IT implementations. The closing process
included the formal acceptance of the project for the creation of work plans in IT organization
(Joan Knutson, 1991).

Project life cycle management
The project life cycle management was an effective process for the creation for work
plans in IT organization. The project life cycle management included the four kinds of aspects
which were concept, development, implementation and close-out. The project concept involved a
rough assessment of project for creating the work plans to implement IT organizational
objectives. The development phase accomplished project charter for creating the work plan. The
development phase could provide the actual work for implementing IT organization.
The implementation phase was also the process for the delivery of work place in IT
organization. In the case of this cycle, project team created project plans and control the plan for
working out the plans in IT organization. This process created the workforce of IT organization
by modifying the budget, timing, and deliverables. The close-out phase was an essential phase
for the implementation of workforce in IT organization by querying the acceptability and quality
of the project. The benefits of project management were better efficiency in work forces,
improved customer satisfaction by quality work plans, enhancement of delivering services, and
improvement of IT work plans growth.
Planning in the project life cycle
The planning of project life cycle provided the stakeholders and team members to
achieve the work plans in IT organization. The planning provided the visibility, synchronization
points, and decision point throughout the creation of work plans for IT organization. The project
life cycle included the planning document, capturing the work plans in IT organization, phases of
projects, and initiation through project planning for the enhancement of creating work plans in IT
organization.

The project selection methods in project management life cycle included the cost benefit
analysis, decision matrix, economic methods, opportunity costs, and portfolio methods. These
above methods were used to selecting the work plans in IT organization. The high level planning
of project management life cycle positively influenced the work plans for the implementation of
IT organization. The stakeholder analysis was very effective for making the work plans in IT
organization by leveling the power and influence of this work plan project.
The research and critical thinking was mandatory in planning the work plans of IT
organization. The research and critical thinking raised the vital IT organizational questions and
also they formulated the project questions precisely and clearly. The research and critical
thinking assessed and gathered the proper information about IT organization for interpreting
conclusions and solutions for making work plans in IT organization. Hence, research and critical
thinking was mandatory for implementing the IT organizational work plans.
Project organizations and importance of leadership and sponsorship
The project organizational structure included the external stakeholder involvement which
encouraged the external stakeholder participation and communicated the progress of IT projects.
The performance metrics was the process of project organization for the development of
performance measures in creating the work plans. The project organizations developed the
compliance assistance training for creating the work plans of IT organization. The project
organization included the data integration goals, data across agencies, implementation plans for
making this project successful.

The leadership and sponsorship were responsible for the success of IT organization work
plan project. The leadership and sponsorship could determine the success and failure of IT
organizational project. The leadership and sponsorship provided the concerns for IT projects,
including initiation of action, motivation, providing guidance, building morale, creating
confidence, building work environment. The sponsorship could provide the complete equipments
and tools for creating the work plans in IT organization. This would raise the project brand
awareness and create preference and also this would provide the attractive content for a range of
products for IT projects.
Project team building
The project team building was also considered to be the main process of project
management which could provide the work plans of IT organization. The project team was to
execute the necessary work plan project task for IT organization and also this process provided
the foundation for effective frame work in order to create the work plans for IT organization. The
project of IT organization was based upon the three variables, including individual autonomy,
hierarchical control, and cooperation (Paul Roberts, 2011).
The project team was also having the process of forming, storming, norming, adjourning,
and performing for the creation of work plans in IT implementation. The project team affected
the decision for assessing the ability to carry out the project commitment, personal similarities
and difference of work plan in IT organization, and project organizational environment. The
project team was having the action with integrity, sensitive, protection, and respectful for
creating the successful team building in IT organization.

Work breakdown structure
A work breakdown structure was a model for performing IT organizational projects. This
formed the basis for project organization for showing the amount of work, duration and costs
which were involved with the project. The work breakdown structure was the basis for further
steps in project planning including scheduling, cost planning, project controlling, and capacity
planning in order to create work plans for the implementation of information technology. The
work breakdown structure determined the major deliverables, including, training program
design, trained instructor. These above could identify the vulnerabilities and influences of
creating the work plans in IT organization.
The project manager breaks down the project into packages by means of implementing
the pitfalls, level of work package details, tasks, WBS scheduling, updating the WBS, and
project hierarchy. These above helped to clarify the specific of project team members for
completing the work. The rolling wave planning increased the level of project packages in IT
organization and also it could keep the project issues for converting into packages. The project
manager must have to micromanage the project and slow down project progress for converting
the overall projects into packages.
Project management software
The project management software had a capacity for the organization and the
management of resource estimation. The software included the estimation and planning, cost
control, collaboration software, decision making, and administration systems in large integrated
programs. The task and activities of project management software included the scheduling and
providing information.

The project management software also supported for multiple dependency relationship,
resource assignment, cost accounting, critical path methods. It could also provide the information
about evidence, cost maintenance, optimum utilization, historical information on projects, and
offering communication for project enhancement. The project management could provide the
ability for forecasting methods and it could project paths by having graphs, charts, and various
graphical depictions. Project management organization enabled the team works and also helped
organizational leaders by displaying necessary information for them. It could enhance the
productivity and customer satisfaction within IT organization. Moreover, it could identify the
problems within the project teams and project management.
Conclusion
The project management played a vital role in enhancing and making value of projects in IT
organization. The project management and its importance to the business world was an effective
for project growth within the organizations. The project life-cycle management and benefits of
project management to an organization were described above and those points affected project
positively. The concepts of planning in the project life cycle were innovative in order to create
work plans in an organization. The importance of leadership and sponsorship showed its
effectiveness to IT organizations. The team work and work break down structure were derived
effectively for the enhancement of IT projects.
