    Title:     Anthropological Approach to IT Project Management

               University of Queensland

    Abstract:  IT project success is a somewhat subjective idea.  
               Sustained innovative use of Technology has just has 
               much to do with work-practices as it has to do with 
               technology.  An idea of what project success should
               be is "shaped" over time by the stakeholders and the
               opinion of other Influential  people.  This "shaping" 
               process should be managed.  IT design has to be at an
               engineering and work practice level AND at a social
               level.  By taking into consideration work and community
               value systems, myth, ideology, and by sampling "mental
               models" of some people, innovative ways of deploying 
               and using technology can be realised.
