Seven Identity Management Implementation Risks
Mark G. DixonJan 25, 2006 - Show original item


I taught a class today addressing best practices in Identity Management implementation. Part of the presentation was entitled "Seven Common Risks." I lobbied to call this "Seven Deadly Risks," but some folks thought that title was a bit over the top. Nonetheless, here are seven risky behaviors that could kill your Identity Management project.
Poor Pre-Project Preparation
Poor Requirements Definition
Large Initial Scope
Inexperienced Resources
Poor Project Methodology
Scope Creep
Not Using Available Support

Would have been cool if you videotaped it and allowed folks to download. The problem space of project management in general is not honestly talked about...
