Abstract

This paper illustrates the case of an information system (IS) project that was heading for costs and time overruns; yet it was successful. The paper describes the project, its main risks and the approach undertaken by the IS project manager to mitigate them. This article explains how the project manager turned a difficult project around and brought it under control by using basic project management techniques. The paper summarizes those techniques in five recommendations that may be valid for other projects as well
