Project/Program Management: Knowledge must be transferred in the IT Industry
Seasoned IT professionals no longer in the work force to provide knowledge transfer (laid off or retired), Inexperienced and experienced IT professionals working extended hours, having extensive and dual responsibilities, burning out. You also have confusion about Business Analyst (BA) and System Analyst (SA) roles and responsibilities. Their skills set are different with one having more business process and requirements knowledge and more technical (product/system) modeling and functional requirements knowledge. The skill sets and roles are different. In some cases now the roles and responsibilities are being required for one position, but ensure that the skill set exist also. This is why knowledge transfer, the documenting and use of lessons and learned and best (and good) practices is absolutely essential to reverse the trend of an unsatisfactorily projects and program failure rate.
