The process of developing and implementing a computerized project management system (PMS) for the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) is examined. Effective management of projects and resources is an important element in the implementation of a capital transportation program. Executive management determined that a computerized project management system was necessary to assist the central and regional offices in the management of the NYSDOT's program. With the introduction of the Computer-Aided Management System (CAMS), the NYSDOT accrues many benefits, from being able to monitor projects more closely and accurately, to having a system that provides useful human resource information. Furthermore, from a regional user's viewpoint, a number of different elements have come into play in the development and implementation of CAMS in the pilot region. Each of these elements, especially executive management's and users' perspectives and support of the new system, have greatly influenced the success of the system to date. The future success of the system depends on how well it can be altered to reflect management's changing needs and on how much support each managerial level provides the PMS.
