Abstract
The prevalence of downsizing is no longer undeniable. There are several cases of conversion of a conventional mainframe based bank accounting system to a client-server system, and the number of conversion cases is expected to increase. We have completed a project for total conversion of a mainframe based bank accounting system to a client-server system. Although there were various constraints and risks in the project, we met QCD and customer satisfaction requirements and successfully managed this one-year project. If we review the project, aside from technical approaches introduced to the project for downsizing, the most significant factor that contributed for the successful project is project management related activities. In this paper, we explain various management concepts and approaches implemented during the project. We hope that this case study is useful for future development projects.
