Abstract
Regardless of the diverse countermeasures taken against the problems arising in the various phases during system development, as a result there still are projects which ends as a failure. In most cases, the cause is originated within the Project Management activity. Many of the failures here, are seen within the Application Development phase, however increasing failures are being found also in the infrastructure development phase. Recently, development has started to shift from general purposed mainframes to open systems. The open systems build technology has been making remarkable progress since then, and now we see development projects struggling to catch up with the latest technology in order to meet the customers requirement. In this text, the role of the infrastructure development team and development standards, as an ideal Project Management from the infrastructure point of view, is described through a project development case study.
