The IT Governance Evangelist
Passionate advocacy for improving IT Governance processes
My interview in Michael Krigsman’s “IT Project Failures” blog
Michael Krigsman interviewed CA Marketing VP David Hurwitz and I for his "Rearranging the Deck Chairs: IT Project Failure" blog on ZDNet. You may be interested in the posting entitled "Project portfolio management and IT governance." We talked about the cause and affect of the lack of robust IT Governance and the propensity for IT projects to fail. While it contains no direct quotes, you're sure to recognize the source of the reference to the five IT Governance Institute principles.
