  • Abstract
    The overall problems of under costing,, over spending, and late delivery of computer systems are problems which many companies face with almost every project undertaken. The source and magnitude of these problems will dictate whether or not a project can be termed successful. Success is on-time delivery of a system. to a satisfied customer at the proposal cost. This paper provides a review of techniques, methods, and matrix-management structures which, for the most part have produced the desired result---a successful project.
