Project Management Considerations for Distributed Processing Applications
许多分布式信息系统因人员和组织问题而非技术问题失败，本文提出通过技能规划、培训增强和项目管理方法改进来应对，强调技术架构和系统测试的重要性。
Many distributed information processing systems will fail because of people and organizational problems — not technical problems. These problems can be addressed by careful skill and organizational planning, by added attention to training, and by an enhanced project management methodology. This methodology must be amended to include a strong requirement for technical architecture at the start, and for thorough systems testing at the finish. Distributed systems are more complex and, to be successful, will require more work and expertise in the central systems staff, not less. Economies of scale will keep most of the work and expertise within the central staff.
