IT project management is the process of planning, organizing and delineating responsibility for the completion of organizations' specific information technology (IT) goals.
According to the Project Management Institute, project management processes are guided through five stages: initiation, planning, executing, controlling and closing. Orderly IT project management is inherent to an organization’s IT strategy and is usually under the direction of the Chief Information Officer (CIO).
