IT Project Management Resource: Identifying Your Project's Common Goals

This study investigated the resource management plan as a group coordination strategy that encompasses the technology resources, the human IT resources, and the organizational resources to accomplish a successful information system project. To obtain accurate data, this research used qualitative research and coding in the grounded theory to explore resource management issues in the development of information systems. The results indicated that the stakeholders possessed different resources, and these resources shared amongst them are important, as these stakeholders have a common goal for the software development project. Thus, the common goals and interests are essential to overcome the ineffective coordination between the vendors and clients. This study assesses resource management from the common goal identification perspective and extends resource management research from the internal organizations to external organizations. In practice, this study assists the group coordination strategy in designing a practicable resource management plan together.
