Digital transformation projects are projects that enable new forms of inter- and intra-organizational collaboration through the implementation of digital technologies such as Data Analytics, or Cloud Computing. Their initialization and budgeting are particularly complex and prone to various uncertainties. With this research we shed light on these uncertainties and their sources. Furthermore, we investigated the strategies that practitioners applied to deal with them. Based on the data from a series of seven qualitative interviews in a large corporation of the manufacturing sector, we thoroughly described the uncertainties and strategies. New aspects are introduced into the research on both the nature of digital transformation projects, and the role of organizational departments during their execution.
