Abstract

This research titled Information and Communication Technology Projects Management in Theory and Practice summarizes the problem on the gap problem between the theory of ICT projects management and its practice. While the research aims to reduce this gap and deliver a successful project and its importance is to discuss the ICT industry problems such as Failures, late deliveries and cost overruns.

This research outlines the general issues involved in establishing such a system taking into consideration the capability and performance expected from future ICT project management. It also overviews the ICT project management in theory and practice to minimize the gap between the two parts, enhance the performance and problems solving.
