Project Management

What if the success of a project depended as much on what happened after it went live as on what happened before?

This third volume in the Project Management series explores the often underestimated but essential aspects of operational management and the closure of IT projects. It offers a comprehensive and pragmatic approach to rigorous monitoring, effective committee work, risk management, and the transition to RUN mode.

The book highlights the importance of continuous improvement through the PDCA cycle and strategic use of KPIs (key performance indicators). It also emphasizes often-neglected pillars such as feedback, skills transfer, and structured knowledge archiving.

Designed for master's students in computer science, project managers, or practitioners seeking structure, this guide provides concrete tools (dashboards, EVM methods, case studies, relevant indicators) to:

maintain the strategic alignment of the project,

detect and correct deviations in a timely manner,

ensure the continuity, value, and maintainability of the solutions deployed.

More than a technical manual, this book offers a true culture of sustainable management where each project becomes an opportunity for learning and optimization.
