Abstract

Efficient management of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) projects is a crucial factor since on many occasions they fail to meet the expected demands and requirements of the different stakeholders. It is well known that poor project management, like inadequate risk management and inadequate project planning, is one of the main reasons for ICT project failure. In addition, with the emergence of the new ICTs such as the Internet of Things, cloud computing, and big data the digitalisation of the maintenance domain has become even more complex. It is, therefore, essential to revisit standard processes when carrying out software development projects for the domain of interest. A broad selection of software development methodologies exists today. However, these are general-purpose development approaches, and it is, therefore, crucial to have an understanding of the best options and best practices of the existent methodologies for context-specific development projects. Thus, the authors present a literature review of ICT project methodologies and later discuss these findings taking into consideration the characteristics of the domain of interest. Based on this, an ICT project management methodology suitable for the Industrial maintenance domain is suggested.
