Introduction
Cloud Computing can be defined as delivery of on demand computing services where
applications to storage along with processing power which includes internet (Hayajneh, Hamada
and Aljawarneh, 2020). In other terms cloud computing can be considered as a system which
covers a range of services that may include consumer services like cloud backup of the photos on
the smartphones, storing data of Gmail, helping large or small organisations to host the data or
information which they can run as well on all of the applications within cloud. On the other side,
project management and projects are becoming much more challenging for organisations where
collaborating it with cloud computing has become much more beneficial for them. Present report
is going to be enclosed with scholar’s point of view where they have given the information and
view point towards cloud computing for project management.

Cloud Computing for Project Management
The idea of cloud computing came in the year of 1960 and it was originated by John
McCarthy. Including this, the term of cloud computing is considered to be the sense that was
utilised by organisations which was described in the year of 1997 by Ramnath Chellappa (Yan
and et. al., (2020, April). In other words, cloud computing can be defined as computing services
that are specifically being offered by external organisations and is available on demand where
dynamically scaling according to the changing demands. In context with project management, it
has been analysed that cloud computing focuses on five different principles and these are
presented underneath:
 The virtualisation of resources with the objectives of maximising the utilisation of
different equipment.
 Flexible scaling depends over the different needs.
 Focusing on the project management, cloud computing focuses on flexibility along with
the demands of different consumers based on the servers. Including this, it has been
analysed that number of business owners do not focuses on acquisition, estimation,
installation and maintenance and this is because of the strong service of cloud computing.
