Specific Management of IT-Projects

Projects act as an important tool of corporate governance as it is possible to attain with their help strategic organizational goals. Significance of efficient project management is recognized by companies all over the world, as not always it is possible to comply with the basic plan of the project. As a rule, terms and budgets are exceeded, the quality of the product is changed. Today companies often face problems of project management in the field of information technologies (IT). Usually the detailed project content is not known at its start due to complicated technological task. Thus we can say that IT projects are subject to high uncertainty that is why they need specific approaches to be effectively managed. In the article the authors study different methodologies of project management, however not all of them can be used for projects of software development and introduction. Flexible methodologies of project management (Agile) are the most suitable for IT projects. Agile-methods take into account all specific features of project management for developing and introducing information technologies.

Intelligent System of Internet of Things-Oriented BIM in Project Management

At present, edge computing is more and more widely used in the development process of various industries. With the stable development of social industrial structure, the development scale of enterprises is gradually expanding, the project production cycle is getting longer and longer, and the project information and project elements are also getting more and more. Under the traditional project management mode, the project elements are independent from each other, the participants are difficult to interact, and the information content is relatively dispersed, which has seriously hindered the improvement of the efficiency and level of enterprise project management. The emergence of intelligent the BIM (building information modeling) project management system provides technical support for the realization of the overall project management objectives, but there are still large limitations in actual use, mainly reflected in the poor flexibility of attraction and error prone. In order to solve the dilemma of enterprise project management, based on the analysis of the characteristics of project management and the functional requirements of the system, this article proposes an intelligent system of BIM in project management oriented to the internet of things. In order to verify the effectiveness of the system, this article conducts system tests from the aspects of project management efficiency, system security, and user experience. The results show that the average intelligent system error level of internet of things-oriented BIM in project management is about 0.310. It can be seen from this result that, on the basis of internet of things technology, various project elements and information within the system have achieved effective integration and promoted the deep intelligent development of project management.
