Overview:
It goes against human nature to always expect the worst. But with IT projects, pessimism - otherwise known as contingency planning - is the only way to keep small technology problems from becoming full-blown business disasters. IT project management has become high art while business contingency planning remains in the Dark Ages. But the problems that can affect an enterprise software project increase all the time as the projects encompass more code and more business processes. In the end, it is riskier for companies to try to protect themselves from glitches in enterprise software projects through ever better IT project management techniques than it is to plan for manual workarounds to get products to customers in case of failure.
