Best Practice IT Project Management - a Long Adventurous Journey

Overview Released in 1968, Stanley Kubrick's film, "2001: A Space Odyssey" has become more than a classic science fiction film, it has served as an illustration of human and technological development. The film, based on a short story by Arthur C. Clarke, has many striking images. This paper examines best practice information technology (IT) project management in terms of the five phases of the film.

Where are we on this journey?
