Mistakes made during the initial phases of an IT project are often critical as they can have cascading effect that impact every following phase of the project, especially implementation. These mistakes can lead to increased costs, delays and potential project failure. The initial phases of IT project, such as planning, requirements gathering, and design, set the foundation for the entire project defining project objectives, requirements and scope and setting the direction for the entire project. The paper demonstrates the results of the systematic mapping study performed on the definition of the types of artefacts created during IT project management before the implementation, as it lays the foundation for effective project planning, avoiding common pitfalls and ensuring alignment with industry best practices.
