Abstract: A structured process for developing a project for managing an information technology project includes a series of principal steps, each of which includes one or more substeps. The principal steps may include: (1) assessing the feasibility of the project to determine whether to proceed with the project; (2) performing initial project analysis to determine the project's functional requirements; (3) designing the IT product; (4) building the IT product; (5) testing the IT product; (6) implementing the IT product; and (7) closing-out the IT project, including evaluating the project. A method is also provided for providing, accessing and using the structured process. The method can be implemented using computer technology by storing the information regarding the structured process in a database and using a computer (or network of computers) to access and utilize the information.
