Today, the term IT project management is usually used as “software-intensive”, but can also include infrastructure issues and thus also include hardware. IT projects can be:

• the development of applications
• the introduction of new information systems
• the networking of IT systems
• the expansion of the existing infrastructure
• the use of new security systems
• the restructuring of departments
• the replacement of in-house developments with standard software
• the implementation of process orientation via workflow systems
• the implementation of outsourcing
• the development of new hardware projects
• the establishment of inter-company networks
• etc.

Thus, the spectrum of IT projects ranges from cabling at locations (hardware) to application development (software).
