[ Systems ]

Computer systems are the digital application that we often think of first, when considering a ‘system’.  There are many analogue systems too, in life, work, and projects.

Systems are things working together, or, an organised scheme or methods.  Much of our day is governed by systems: the transport network, smartphone connectivity, elevators. 

Other examples of systems include document control, air traffic control, and the school system.  They are everywhere, and they are essential to the functioning of society.

They are also useful in our workday, to help get things done.  A good system helps to prevent the costs of rework.
