Information Technology projects frequently involve working with outside vendors. As a result, the success of today’s projects often depends on the effective management of these vendors to ensure the services provided are appropriate, timely, cost-effective, and trouble-free.
It is not unusual to find situations where the Project Manager feels out of control with outside vendors, often because they have had minimal training in the ability to motivate, manage, direct, review, and assess the efforts of these vendors.
