While many organizations have trained Project Managers or a Project Management Offices, IT Managers without these resources can still benefit from project management frameworks that describe best practices such as the Project Management Institute’s PMBOK® (Project Management Book of Knowledge) and the United Kingdom government’s PRINCE2 (PRojects IN Controlled Environments). It is not necessary or possible for everyone in an organization to be project management professionals. But that doesn’t mean that they should be ignorant of the essentials of project management. The important thing for the entire organization is to select an approach to managing projects and socialize it in the organization.
