There are many aspects to every IT project, and project management can be complicated by shifting business needs and demanding stakeholders. 

As this article from CIO.com points out, it’s crucial to ensure that project managers are keeping an eye on all of the project elements, or key disciplines: Planning, Scope, Requirements, Time/Schedule, Costs, Resources, Communications, Logistics, Procurement, Quality, Risk, Integration, Change control, Ethics, and Governance.

It’s not easy staying on top of all these different elements. Each discipline may require measuring, reporting and adjusting to ensure the project stays on track. How much focus each aspect needs will depend on the type, size and complexity of the project.

Scope is one element that can cause a lot of grief:

The scope is what is in this project and what is not. Scope creep (the clandestine addition of activities without re-evaluation of impact) is one of the greatest killers of projects. Make sure that the project is not undertaking any activity that is not in its charter to do so, and list all of the deliverables.
