Project Management at the Intersection of Technology and Business: Lessons from Large-Scale IT Solution Deployments

Abstract

Large-scale IT solution deployments at the intersection of technology and business demand robust project management strategies that balance technical innovation with organizational objectives and regulatory compliance. This comparative review examines project management methodologies employed across three critical enterprise domains: Data Loss Prevention (DLP), Anti–Money Laundering (AML) systems, and healthcare IT integrations. It highlights the shared challenges of governance, interoperability, stakeholder alignment, and risk mitigation in environments where data security, regulatory scrutiny, and system reliability are paramount. By analyzing frameworks such as Agile, PRINCE2, and hybrid WaterfallAgile models, the study reveals how domain-specific constraints ranging from compliance mandates in financial systems to data privacy in healthcare shape project delivery outcomes. The paper underscores the necessity of adaptive governance structures, cross-functional collaboration, and continuous feedback loops to ensure successful implementation and sustainability of large-scale IT solutions. Insights from this review offer actionable lessons for aligning business strategy with technology execution, ultimately enhancing performance, compliance, and innovation across industries.
