IT solutions are essential to any successful business. Businesses rely on IT to manage customer contact, client communication, marketing strategies, and sales records. IT is also a platform for telephony servers and websites, keeping businesses online and in front of customers.  

But because IT is constantly updating and undergoing changes, to stay ahead of the game, it’s essential that any planned IT updates go smoothly and keep your business online and functioning as normal throughout the transition.  

IT project planning isn’t just about the changes you want to make and how to get there. It’s also about keeping your business online throughout the change and considering what impacts the changes may have on your overall operation.  

IT projects also involve budgeting and staffing considerations, which may affect roadmap timeframes for paying for development and planning training and recruitment where required. For this reason, it’s important that those planning IT projects understand the strict timelines and create iron-clad operational frameworks to consider and mitigate risks to IT, developing continuity plans to ensure that all IT solutions remain online and functioning at all times.  

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to: 

  • Understand the need for IT changes and how they benefit businesses.  
  • Develop a strategic framework for the change.  
  • Gain buy-in from stakeholders or investors for your planned project.  
  • Understand the cost implications against your budget.  
  • Create an effective continuity plan to keep your business running throughout the change.  
  • Develop a roadmap for the change with accurate timescales.  
  • Understand the risk areas and place mitigation methods where possible.  
  • Develop knowledge or key tools and techniques to help your project plan run smoothly.  
  • Review good change implementation plans against unsuccessful ones in similar business areas.  
  • Gain feedback on your change and improve to stay current in your field.  

This course was designed for anyone responsible for planning and organising IT developments within a company and reviewing the current offerings to stay current in your field. It would be most beneficial for:

They will view presentations, participate in group discussions regarding best practices for change, and complete group practical activities to plan a strategic roadmap for new projects.  

Their roadmaps will be reviewed throughout the group to identify potential pain points, and teams will work together to create continuity plans. Finally, each group will plan a presentation of their planned change, identifying requirements and describing their budgeting and timescales for completion.
