- ADRoIT Principles
The ADRoIT Principles for Dispute Management and Resolution in the IT Industry is an initiative of the Institute of Arbitrators and Mediators (Australia) [http://www.iama.org.au IAMA] , the Australian Computer Society [http://www.acs.org.au ACS] and the Project Management Institute [http://www.pmi.org.au PMI] . It was launched in September 2007 by Senator Helen Coonan, Australia's Federal Minister for Communications, Information Technology and the Arts, following a widespread survey into the disproportionate share of litigation which seemed to be attributable to technology projects. During 2008 it is being presented at numerous conferences with a view to establishing an accreditation regime for neutrals who implement ADRoIT Principles.
The ADRoIT Principles are a set of guiding principles and recommended practices for the efficient management and resolution of disputes primarily in the IT Industry but of more general application to commercial disputes globally. The ADRoIT Principles have been developed following a [http://www.elliotts.com.au/adrsurvey/ Survey into Dispute Management in the Australian IT industry] and provide industry practitioners and dispute professionals with a set of guideline for minimising the impact of disputes in IT projects.
The ADRoIT Committee is a non profit organisation supported by IAMA, ACS and PMI. ADRoIT is an acronym derived from A"lternative D"ispute R"esolution over I"nformation T"echnology
