IT Management and Administration Staffing Ratios 2022
When it comes to IT managers, it is important to find the sweet spot. Too many, and the IT group can become top-heavy and bureaucratic, too few and IT staff members can feel unsupported and without direction. This report examines how many IT managers a well-run IT organization typically requires, along with staffing metrics for two related administrative functions: IT finance/vendor management and administrative support. To benchmark IT management, we use two metrics: IT managers as a percentage of the IT staff and users per IT manager. We provide metrics for small, midsize, and large organizations. To provide further perspective, we consider the five-year trend in IT managers as an average percentage of the IT staff.

Evolving From Best Practices to Good Practices (May 2002)
The concept of best practices is another one of those difficult to define but widely adopted phrases used to describe one of the evolutionary steps in the ongoing pursuit of silver bullet fixes to complex organizational problems. Best practices is still lingering, but it is steadily being overshadowed by economics and the realities of organization dynamics. If the management mentality is to mature, it is important to learn from the phases of evolution. A social, political, and economic dissection of best practices is a healthy step in overcoming the syndrome.
