The evidence suggests that the success rate for IT projects is poor - more than half of projects are challenged in some aspect, whether in terms of cost, time or the quality of what is delivered.
Outstanding IT project managers understand that, in the real world, successful IT projects isn't just about crafting a project plan - it's about assessing the ROI of projects, defining a clear scope, estimating in a rational manner, building a high-performance team, managing stakeholder expectations, and more.

Hi I'm WH Lam, founder of TechMBA
TechMBA supports the learning and development needs of IT leaders including CIOs, CTOs, IT directors and other senior IT professionals. TechMBA was a natural way for me to build on my 20+ years experience of teaching topics in IT management at multiple levels including MBA, Masters and executive training for corporate clients.
As an academic, but former consultant with several of the large top-tier IT firms, I realise courses that deliver the best learning outcomes for learners blend theory and practice, which is what makes courses unique and distinctive.
