Abstract
Statistically, success rate of the IT project is around 30%. Firstly, what is the appropriate definition for "success" in the project? It is often mentioned "fulfilling provided QCD for each project". However, QCD is not a perfect measurement of success. For example, the renovation project of current existing system is usually leads by Information-systems division. Somehow, a part or whole new system is unaccepted or unused by End-user (Operations division) in spite of quality requirements completely achieved. Therefore, "real success" of the project should be defined as "achieve satisfaction for all stakeholders" in the project. To fulfill this satisfaction, project manager should make a match of expectations and deliverables for all stakeholders. But it's too difficult to match them, because expectations actually changes many times through the project and they are unique by each stakeholder. In this paper, author will introduce effective method for project manager to lead project based on standard scope management.
