A project is generally defined by various criteria such as1. the objective to create something new, which does not yet exist in the desired form.2. they are limited in time, which means that both the beginning and the end are defined by deadlines.3. projects are unique.4. projects are equipped with limited resources.5. projects pursue a clearly specified and positively formulated goal.However, at least 3 of the 5 criteria of a project which are regarded here as general and binding prevent successful digitisation projects.In this book I discuss the individual reasons why projects are not and cannot be the right choice for digitisation purposes and prove this with well-founded scientific figures.But I also point out alternatives with which it is possible to promote digitisation in one's own company at very low risk, quickly and cheaply.The way of thinking, one would have to or could convert everything into existing and for other fields established procedures like PRINCE, PMI, PMBoK, etc.
