During a software project what is typically the role of IT in your experience?

Jonathan Doyle PM Consultant| Adduco Consultancy Ltd London, United Kingdom

There have been a few projects that I have worked on that have used developers who sit within the IT department and who dedicate a percentage of their time to a series of projects but are not exclusive to just one project. There are other IT departments that exist just to provide support on infrastructure like database servers, implementation of the new functionality or telephony support. In effect the developers sit within a business unit outside of the control of IT. I find the latter more effective even though some IT staff think it is a bad idea to have developers not based in the IT arm of a company and therefore out of the department''s sphere of control.

A good combination of both works best to level resources.

Organizations have to structure their cost appropriately, and the dual method helps to scale back dedicated resources.
