Abstract
The treatment of a computer system as a project is very little different from the treatment of any other type of project such as building a house, a bridge or a motor car. Only the detailed parts will be different, but like all projects the success depends upon the quality of the project management applied to the project. However, the newness of the technology in computer projects makes the project approach both more important and more difficult; the problems are not of themselves new.
